What is news?
A celebrity endorsing a new brand? A new Television channel launched? The intricate details of the designer wear of who’s who? Opinions of bigwigs and’gurus’ on future of the nation?
Are news relevant pieces of information for the reader or mere space filling stuff? The same number of pages are printed everyday. It makes sense to ask whether news happen everyday? Or many news are’created’ everyday? The wise know the answer to this
Why don’t we have action groups which implement the many noble suggestions that gurus and bigwigs seem to have? Why just report the progress of some movement which eventually dies out?
In haste for breaking news, so many channels report news wrongly and the next day very few people go through the corrigendum
why have publications with fixed frequency?
Why comments and quotes of bigwigs are so important when most of the times they hide their brilliant ideas saying it is not the right time to speak out or it may be politically incorrect?
This issue needs serious thought and one needs to question whether newspapers are needed everyday? If so many good articles are written have we really made good use of them for our progress? Why not bring an element of action and have newspapers maybe once a week but which also mentions how much progress has been made based on the big announcelemnts and declarations
Unless this happens, newspapers will be mere one-day-affair and articles mere’space filling stuff’
Cheers!
