Hello all jatlanders,
I wish to draw your attention towards the role played by the media in today’s world.
In a recent incident the news channel showed that the people were fighting on the street , but as a responsible citizens no one took any step to stop the fight instead they were busy recording.
In another incident, one boy met with an accident in noida in a road accident, neither the police nor any one else took him to the hospital, even the media was present there and were busy shooting and critisizing the police but the boy was lying on the road waiting to be evacuated to the hospital.
Ultimately the brother of the boy was sent message and he came and took the boy to the hospital.
Again in another incident, the media was again busy covering the issue where a young couple was being bashed by the girls father but the media has not tried to intervene and stop the fight.
If u all remember, there was an incident, where a boy called Prince had fallen into the well, the whole media was behind the boy and there was no news other than prince on all the news channel. The news channels had shown the news continuously for two days. And after that every body has forgotten about him. After that there have been many cases where the children have fallen into a well, but our news channels have not shown any interest.
Another incident where the media highlighted where the son of politician Pramod Mahajan, was found under the effects of drugs and the PA of Pramod Mahajan was found dead. The media highlighted the case for two days and after that there has been no update on the subject till date.
In another recent incident of Aayushi murder case in noida, the role of media is also under question.
My contention, while writing all this is, that where the media is heading towards?
Are we so busy that the media thinks that we will forget every thing next day or is the media playing the role of a broker?
I am sorry if I have hurt any one; my intention is not to hurt any one but I am just putting up my views.
please give your advice and views
