Why can't the rediff people put up the whole thing on a single link.
Summary so far has been:
1. Blast at the mosque site. 2. Five killed, many injured. 3. RAF at AP's disposal. 4. 2 more live bombs diffused.
I totally understand that its a henious act of terrorism (or of the divide rule policy of Congress.. or whatever), but why on earth do they need 7 links to prove a point.
Media/journalism have stooped to such levels which is unacceptable. News sensationalization, crap reporting, tracking the personal life of movie stars or sports icons. You open the morning newspaper, all you get is the glamour masala in the supplements. You switch on the TV, you get to see the same footage of 5 min over next 5-6 hours with so many news channel showing you the same stuff over and over.
Can we have some laws which curb some media power. sure media should be free from boundations, but given the commercializaion aspect(which now truly seems ingrained in the Indian media), we ought to have some sort of policing on it.
I totally agree with you. There is only so much that media can report. Too much money chasing too few news.
One has to exercise imagination/be innnovative in unearthing and reporting good news. that seems to be lacking at the moment. Don't worry, ultimately the laws of demand and supply with balance out everything.
From our side we have to stop watching news. Just get highlights for a couple of minutes everyday.
