The tricky way of doing journalism...

Do you want popularity in a short cut way?? Better ask Raj Thackray... He knows how to get it.. Now he is released from jail.. He must be sleeping very happily in his most comfortable air conditioned room.. thinking and uttering "buddhu janta (Fool people)"..Everything has worked as per his plan...

His objective was to get the limelight ahead of election... So, he did his action by playing with sentiments of local marathis... did some vandalism in the name of Maharastra and Bihar.. and the rest he knew, the media will take care..(about his publicity) ..Now he has got it.. In no time now everyone in India knows his name..

Here, the journalism plays a vital role.. The news channel should not have highlighted him.. Because these netas knows how to get the attention of media..
Good journalism knows which news should be there in the front page and which news should be there in the middle page... Publish the news, but very tactfully.. (e.g you keep his news but with very small fonts...).. My dear journalist brothers and sisters, please don't highlight these politicians... Try to read their pulse... because their only intention is to come to limelight in quick time by some wrong doing.. and they are achieving it..

Instead of showing the news of these bad politics better cover the news from Chanrayaan.. Show some interviews of the scientists and the effort that was put behind the Chanrayaan mission etc...

Thanks,

Do you think your appeal to fellow journalist is going to work? No way.
As the media houses in India are mainly controlled by the politicians or their family members. It is evident from all the newspapers you read in Orissa.
If they start to work in their own way then they are bound to lose their job or will be harassed by their bosses. Our news papers claim that they are secular but in fact they are politically biased. As long as the above mentioned system persists, the politicians will definitely get cheap publicity.
The problem is not with journalist but with the system where they work and the people with whom they work.
So one need to look into the root cause and eliminate it.
Now the question is who will do it and how.

With Thanks

Yes, Lipu.. I agree with your opinion to some extent.. But I don't think our electronic media is biased... Because they have been chasing down everyone... and we must agree that in India, the media is very very strong.. Thats why I've been telling that they to be a little bit tactful what they are doing... Definitely they are doing a commendable job...

Agni Theertham is just walking distance away from the main temple. After the Samudra Snanam it was time for the 22 Kund Snanam. And all t...
