The media (specifically television) has completely lost its mind while tracking news







Not very long ago, there was a time when "journalism" was considered revered profession. People used to congratulate freshers choosing this noble profession as careers. The electronic media was proudly picking up steam and the profession had started gaining eyeballs each day. 'Newstrack' & 'Eye Witness', the extremely popular video news magazines had demonstrated how television journalism could make a difference. 'The World This Week' and such other programmes had hooked an entire nation of television viewers and set very high standards in television production. It was then considered very difficult and a dream come true to break into any of the top production houses of news television.But today, the media (specifically television) has completely lost its mind while tracking news,it has lost it motive and directions also,the mushrooming of news channels and the constant chase for television rating points (TRPs) has led to some rotten apples spoiling the feast.....and has turned these news channels into corporate houses where biasedness and corruption rules....
