The Time: 9 PM . Dinner is on!!! 20 mins into the News Channel( 1 of the best we have in India mind u!!!)...and what do we c??? a simple personal agenda has been converted into a "Top Story of the day"...with a generous amount of adjectives like "Shockin", "Breaking-News" added to it .
Our Reporter for the day along with his half-inert colleague has brought this issue to a debate finale with joined by celebrities ... Its so shocking to notice that rather than understanding the nuances of News reporting, these guys create sumthin like a War-Of-words,instigating the guests to react agressively... on National Television.... ( How can u ask ur guests to react to each other's comments and unanimously pass a decision urself!!!!) ..
To Top it all , the 2 parts of Masala ate away easily abt 25 mins of Airtime ... India 2day has so many better things to be covered that needs public attention. yet we turn a blind eye to many a grievances of the people in far flung areas.Only celebrities, Politicians and Sports stars hog the limelight .. The media should ensure proper balance in reportin...(Have u ever seen India's North-east covered with as much zeal &hype as a Cricket controversy)...I have seen parents encouraging their wards to watch NEWS &learn ...This is not they should be learnin anyday...
Its time the Journalist fraternity stood up and introspected about what Responsible &True Journalism really means ...
I might not know ABC of journalism ..but i can surely vouch for the fact that this kind of reporting is helping no one ..
