Our nation is facing severe atrocities at all socio-economic-political levels. But instead mainstream media chooses most of the time to show irrelevant debates (hardly there are news bulletins) or news reports on some trivial & sensational news item which has almost no impact on present and future of India.
In the rat race to reach the top spot and to get TRPs news houses are sacrificing real and in detailed news. Tabloid journalism by news channels have gained momentum and this has led to more and more bizarre and sensational news coverage.
Here some embarrassing and trivial news stories that Indian news channels ever covered:
It’s not that dogs are not important but if you go by news value, this story for sure cannot be prime time news in one of the reputed cable news network. The headlines were shouting the following statement.
“Commissioner’s dog. Missing since 25th March”,
“Breaking News: Commissioner’s dog found”
Indian TV has bad reputation for covering Illogical and irrelevant news. This is one of the most trivial ones that were covered by this news network. Check out the video to see the news piece.
Indian media is creating too much hype and attention to Sheena Bora murder case. News reports related to case are not covered much in compared to voyeuristic and trivial news about the accused Indrani Mukerjea.
Bollywood news always attract eye balls and trivial yet sensational news are covered by some news channels. It seems like ethics and moral has took a back seat.
This particular news piece was criticized for showcasing this annoying reportage. News report shot in crisis is a commendable thing but not when you sit on someone and give the report.
News Channels knows how some Indian audiences are attracted towards sensationalism and interest in unknown topics. It’s very vital for news media houses to hold on some canons and morals of journalism and should stop displaying feature or reports which gives boost to any superstitious or false news just for the sake of TRPs.
Being fourth Pillar of democracy, news channels should refrain showcasing such news. What are your views on such reportage? Let us know in the comments below.
