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...

Moditwa...

Which was unthinkable some years ago, today it's reality.. the "Moditwa" (read in hindi).. In the recent 4th Global Investors' Summit, the corporate heads of India have endorsed Mr. Narendra Modi to be the future PM of India.. A big statement from the corporate biggies.. Can we digest Mr. Modi as the PM of India?? Can the world digest this?? Let us analyze what this man is all about.. why so many intellectuals are endorsing Mr.Modi?? Mr. Modi means.. 1. Industrialization of the state and job opportunity for everyone.. 2. Modernization.. both in rural and urban areas.. 3. Corruption free state.. No nonsense in bureaucracy.. 4. Very strong against terrorism.. 5. Having a great vision for the state.. a vibrant Gujarat.. Having said all these good for Mr. Modi, no one can deny about the Godhra incident.. Still the Godhra ghost is haunting Mr. Modi.. When the supporters of Modi have many things in their kit, the detractors of Modi are still talking about the only incident ...

UHAULing.... in US...

In this blog let me share my experience of shifting home in America... You have to do the following activities for shifting your home... 1) Buy the card board boxes and pack your stuffs on your own... 2) Rent a truck to shift your stuff from one place to other and you have to drive that truck on your own. That truck is provided by a company called UHAUL. 3) Place all your stuffs inside the truck on your own. So, you have to carry your sofa, bed etc on your own. Therefore, you have to be a body builder to do all these activities. Remember, here there is no human labour to help you out. If you are hiring human labour then be ready to pay a hefty amount. 4) OK... All the stuffs are now packed and placed inside the truck. Now drive the truck on your own. 5) Reach the destination. 6) Unload all the stuffs.... Again on your own... 7) Return the truck to UHAUL (company) and pay the rental... 8) Your shifting is done... Cool..... That's how you have to live in USA. So, life is very easy he...
