I am surprised at the report that a group of journalist instigated some street vendors to consume poison.
The purpose: To cover a sensitive story on the agitation of street vendors as they were served orders by authorities for eviction.
The police version of the story goes on like this:- Two reporters of IBN7 and star news approached some agitating street vendors and supplied them with a white tablet.Reporters told the protesters to threaten the police of Suicide and then consume it. the reporters assured them all that the tablet will make them unconscious for four to five hours and they will be alright after that.every thing went according to plan but some of the vendors become critical on consuming it and five of them died at a hospital.
The reporters are denying the police version but some thing appears fishy in the whole incident. The nature in which modern news channels are competing and the importance they provide to silly and petty issues is too disturbing. From sting operations to 'cooked news' , every thing appears to call their attention.It seems that these 'yellow channels' select news no on the merit of national importance but on its ability to improve its viewership ratings. These channels defy very essence of news reporting. It was once considered as a daring and challenging profession, but today its every ones pie.
Its Quoted that " when every one runs out of a burning house, the one who is running to it is a journalist".Today journalist run along with the running and rioting mob encouraging them to indulge in more 'action' promising them of good coverage. They burn house and then run towards it.
Recently Advani Commented that some anchors in certain T.V channels are so selected that they look like Criminals.Advani said this keeping in mind that the anchors of certain programmes in Star News and IBN7. IBN7 editor in chief, Raj deep had a hard time in justifying his channel.But no matter what ever be the justification, airing private or domestic quarrel and other such rubbishes cannot be counted as News.
