Offlate , the journalism industry has become more commercial than any other .Wonder what is happening to the true spirit of journalists . I know that any change should be welcomed .But this drastic change is not serving the purpose of it's existence .From the newspapers to television -everywhere there is political party's involvement .How will a common man understand the truth ? Take a look at the channels and hardly any of them is not owned by the political family/politician. Kalaignar,SUN,Jaya .and now Captain TV on its way ??
They are into radio and newspaper segment too and even magazines .And how does even the common man beleive all these news to be true .Each one does bashing of the opposite party and we contribute to their revenue by buying or tuning in .
Where is the real journalist spirit here ..Is it not a responsibility of a media to broadcast unbiased news .A reality as a reality to the common public and not publicise only something that is will bring down the image of an opposite party .And they focus so much on unwanted news than real problems .For example -The recent swamiji nithyananda's sex scandal -was it of so much importance to have so many repeat telecasts throughout those two days ??Clearly we can see all they needed was TRP ratings and the scape goat was the actress Ranjitha .If this had happened in the west ..she could have sued SUN TV..end of the day it is her personal life and what it has resulted her is in a suicide attempt .
And come to the national television channles ..MY god ...are they just into news ....? NOOOOOOOOOO
It's like each one has an agenda everyday to promote some movie star or gossips .Sharukh's or Big B blog will be a HEADLINE NEWS !!!! And some clippings from a relaity show -which will go on repeat telecast for a week until that makes another headline . They are helping people like Rakhi saawant and Rahul Mahajan become a celebrity .A decade back -News channels were watched to help accumulate general knowledge and be in tune with the current affairs .But currently news channels only help you to know
about what is happening in Bebo's life or which political party is in a mess.
Don't we think we have better things to cover in news that public should know ...
How nice it would be if news channels started spreading awareness on common issues and give the public the real news without the spice and masala to it and also cover news even if the newsmaker is not a celebrity!

Hey, I wanna get this stuff accross to Bharka and other journalist. Feel like questioning them and realy listen to what they got to say.
Classic example, i pick up the paper (TOI) and I see the front page devoted for Sania's wedding news and the space reserved for the Moist killing was 30% less than the Sania Mirza page and it had continued in page 7 or some such crap. Thats were its headed!!!
