Indian News

T.V news Channels in India have reached the lowest depth in following the code of conduct in telecasting News. Their main objective is just to increase their TRP. They are not concerned with viewers interest. One such channel is just spreading rumours 24x7 and creating fears in the minds of viewers. This is most irresponsible behaviour towards the society. The authenticity of news has become a big question mark. Most of the News are centred around Cricket, Bollywood, Murder, Rape, Scandal, Fashion shows etc. Fortune tellers have mushroomed all over. They can be seen in almost all channels during morning time telling what is in store for us. This type of program encourages superstition among people. Our print media is no better than electronic media. Take out any newspaper. There is hardly any good news. It looks like nothing good is happening in this country. As regards foreign news, it is centred around US and Pakistan only. There is hardly any coverage. At times, I have to switch over to BBC, CNN to know what is happening around the world. The quality of our news has degenerated to such an extent that it is not worth watching news channels or reading newspaper anymore. Early morning at 7.00am, whenever I see the headline on the front page of Times of India, it invariably carries a bad news. By the time I finish reading paper, my mind is filled with all sorts of negativity. A new trend is emerging now a days. Most of news channels have started giving comedy shows in between news which I find highly offensive,filthy,derogatory. Is this the price we Indians have to pay for giving freedom to press and electronic media. Is there anything called self censorship.
