There was time when the job of reporter both in the print and visual media was considered as a respectable profession . But with the commercialisaton/ globalisation the situation seems to change. It seems that media is becoming a puppet in the hand of some syndicate of wrested interest.
The way the media reported the Godra and its aftermath, recent accusation of our PM as sleeping PM by TIMES, raise serious doubts on their credentials. Most of the newspaper are nothing more than Tabloids.Also the media is interested only in reporting sensational news so that there can be more revenue. Once the sensation diminishes the entire issue is forgotten. Personally I remember a small incident of skinning alive a tiger in a zoo in Hyderabad which created a sensational news for a week two years back and the CM of the state promised apprehending the culprit. What happened afterwards?
The media is either misutilised or not properly utilised and their obligation and responsibility towards the society is undermined.
