Media is one of the powerful tool in society as it augments the public opinion and create greater awareness among people.
Unfortunately in our country media seems like playing the negative role by projecting the the other India (ie dark side of our country).I do agree that the poverty is still predominant in our country,but I don't agree the concept of sensationalizing the poverty to get fame and attention.
That is the main thing these media and its people crave for.
There is one good example told by our former President none other than APJ Abdul kalam.During his tenure he visited Israel as the guest of then prime minister of Israel.
That particular night there was a terrible bomb blast ,hundredths of people got killed,naturally kalam wanted to know the story of it and expected the newspapers to carry the gory pictures and minute details of it.But he was in a surprise ,instead of carrying the gory and sensational news the media were reporting the latest invention in agriculture in big way,thus putting the bomb blast news in the last page with out giving much emphasis for it.Man he was really surprised,He told this story to our media people so that they can emulate the example of reporting positive news rather than trying to increase their TRP rate or sales of their newspaper.
Becoz nation interest is paramount and its above TRP rate and sales of newspaper.
Keep blogging!
Bye for now.
