In India, media is losing focus. They come up with all unwanted stuffs which are in no way connected or are bothered by the common people. Is it right to discuss what Aishwarya Rai is wearing, where more than 30% people are starving? Think!
News Channels
Useless analysis
One of the majour nuisance in the TV News Channels is the ‘unwanted, useless analysis’ by the so called experts in a particular area.
‘Why MSD(M.S.Dhoni, Captain, Indian Cricket Team) lose his cool?’ This was the topic for yesterday’s discussion on a prominent news channel in India. And there were two or three people analysing this issue-the cold war between MSD and Viru(Virendra Sehwag, cricketer, Indian Team), who was injured. Only Dhoni and Viru know what is happening between them and what is the need for analysing those silly things? It is not even an issue between the U.S and the Russia!! It is shame that these type of analysis happened when the Indian students in Australia are facing racial abuse.
One thing is clear: Either there are not much news happening in India or the journalists are not searching for REAL news. And I don’t agree with the first.
Gossips
Some other channels focus mainly on GOSSIPS. ‘What was Aishwarya Rai’s dress in that event?’, Who’s the best in comdey-Sunil Shetty or Salman Khan?’, ‘How many teeth are there in the mouth of the dog of local general secretary of XYZ party?’ It’s hillarious that these are the type of news coming in that channel. They may argue that they positioned the channel in such a way. But the question is: Are these the REAL news?? They need to define what news is.
Dragging the news
Some channels drag the news so as to ‘fit’ all the news contents into a half an hour program. This is done in such a way that the same news content which is for a couple of minutes is asked to same/different person in two or three times where the answer for all the questions are the same. The audience are not supposed to by heart the news, but to be aware of what’s happening around.
If some majour events happen, then the news channels are like testing the elasticity of a chewing gum. They go on with that news for three or four days- Analysing the event and analysis on the analysis, expert discussions, the dissent, what had happened wrong? if it had not been happen, then what might have occur?
I wonder how these people are making money without doing anything! Simply blah-blah-blah and get paid for their so-called ‘expert opinions’. Who is there to report the problems of a common (wo)man in India?
(Note: There are news channels and programs that deliver quality analysis, expert opinions and discussions. No offence made to any news channels.)
