Indian (melancholical) MEdiA
Aap dekh rahe hai AAJ TAK aur abhi abhi khabar aa rahi hai ki ek Baccha 60 feet ke gaddhe mein gir gaya hai...
Our ears have become very used to listening such lines as soon as we switch on any TV news channel... not once or twice in a fortnight but every hour, or rather every five minutes.There's a Breaking News every five minutes on our so called NEWS channels...
As soon as any news breaks on the news channel, the host along with a correspondent collect some people and take their opinions on the issue that's taken up. They just waste half an hour of programming without giving any foolproof information and quality news.
But then, why this new trend in the industry?
Its because of the increasing competition in the industry and its the battle for the survival. As well said by Darwin, only the fittest and the best are capable of surviving... others are wiped off.
That is why everyone is vying for the top TRP ratings.
Everything accepted, but why is the media giving such news and other useless content to its viewers who are in search of some useful news rather than the sensational "BREAKING NEWS" concept. This trend has been started to attract more and more viewership... MAN IS GREEDY and NEVER SATISFIED.
Do u think that the name 'news channel' is appropriate any more?
Most of the people would reply negatively. We should call these news channels "entertainment channels" as they give much more entertainment than a Star Plus could ever give us in a lifetime.
These ________ channels focus so much on Bollywood that most of the times they create an half an hour slot with a five-minute news. They don't do any research. They just add a question mark to the headline which shows that even they are not sure about the happenings... Then why give such news?
I think that the news Oh! Sorry, entertainment channels are to some extent are responsible for the increasing terrorism and violence in our country...
Ask why?
If you have programs like Vardaat creating Sansani, what do you expect the result to be? The whole nation knows the ideas used behind certain crimes and the on-going crimes. The 'talented' youth grabs these ideas and they are in action the next day, rather the next night...
Are laughter shows essential to make us laugh? Won't we laugh if we don't get an 'overdose' of comedy shows? Would we sit like a depressed dodo without them?
I don't think so. Then why don't they understand that their job is only to give news and not make us laugh; that too with repeat telecast of some show already telecasted. And ya one more thing we have many channels to make us laugh, cry and everything else!
Kaun Hai? That's the question we normally ask when some one knocks our door. But here that's not the case. Star News asks this question to all its viewers and informs them about the not-present ghosts and others supernatural powers. At the end of it, the camera doesn't capture anything and our mouths remain open... Is it required???
The Indian Media was definitely much better 10 years ago or may be even 5 years ago and reported true stories instead of creating one... But today??? It will be better if we stop talking about it. Even the word 'news channels' irritates me and forces to think that our age old mute friend- the Newspaper is a hundred times better than our LIVE MEDIA...

the media has gone frenzy because of competition as u rightly pointed out... but y so much competition.. coz they have a base of about 200million viewers.. ya.. its 200 million..think of the advertising income that they get... n therefore any aira-gaira-natthu-khaira wants to be in this segment..there are 40 news channel..n they ll definitely increase...
What Kshitij said is right, but todays people love Hanky Panky news and donot love to see the standard one. That is the reason the serials on various channels without having any interesting stories run for years
and years.
People should stop watching such Masala. In real life I have never seen seen such politics in any of the families, but on Channels it is everywhere.
People should save themselves from
all the channels.
You've given a factual review of our current "News" channels. Without using any over-the-top language!
I've stopped watching these channels, i think the internet is a way better medium of getting authentic news.
