One of the most silly professions today is media . It could be any kind of media , be it television , newspaper, Radio ,internet any thing . Why do i feel this ? Is it my individual thought. I believe most of you would agree with me.
There are hazaar tv channels who are flashing news around . FLASH NEWS : Manmohan's flight takes off .... Now what kindoff news is this .. Most of the news channels create news rather than recording news . All channels want to be the first to air the contents, no one cares what content they air. The Pranoys and Rajdeeps are busy making big time money minting channels just by debating with no results coming out of it .
Gone are the days when all of us used to wait for the DD news at 9:00 PM at night. That was the only half an hour my dad used to let me watch the old black and white EC TV( dont know if they have stopped their production). The news used to be precise , clean and the English used to be unpeccable. DD still has the quality but they maintain a sombre tone which has let them down .
What has led to my frustration is the same Sachin who was "END"ulkar a few weeks ago has become a Bradman. Is this the way media needs to report . I agree media earns their bread and butter, but at the cost of being first , content is compromised and is lost.
At this rate one day you would see news flashing, LALU prasad sleeps today . Hope that day is far off and media personnels tie up their sleeves and present content rather than spice.

i disagree, atleast about the news channels that come on TV..They have contributed a great deal to the improvement of the society and have proved to us on more than one occasion the power of media. What has DD given us..Just the boring news atfer hours of it happening and all of us reading it in newspapers. Your reasons for concern arise, since most of the news channels run 24x7.
yeah ..but dd news runs 24x7 as well.by far it is much better atleast by not sensationalising things !
