Media bias

Day 1:
"It was the father",screamed the headlines of the daily journal." Cops make a breakthrough in murdercase...shocking revelation...Aarushi Talwar mudered by her father...Aarushi Talwar's gruesome murder by the hands of her father has left ... "
Day 2:
"News channels go overboard ... police made the sensational revelations about the Aarushi Talwar murder case.."
Day 3:
"Putting all rumors and speculations into rest, the Noida police finally arrested Arushi Talwar's father Dr. Rajesh Talwar. ..."
Day (god knows what):
"Rajesh Talwar was released from Jail after being wrongfully confined for 50 days after being.."
I wouldn't be surprised if these were quoted from a gossip magazine but its appaling to know that the media is behind this fickle natured ..um..what do they call it..ya.."news".
While crucial issues like global warming,education,employment occupy the later pages, sensational issues,invariably, are splashed on the front page.The news channel biggies escalate their TRPs by gainnig fodder from murder,rapes,riots,controversies..and as for the minor ones,they deserve a ticket to bollywood.
India being a developing nation with more than 50% of the population uneducated and living in rural areas ,has a long way to go.Many issues have to be tackled,many journeys to be scaled.Awareness,unity,integrity,understanding,inspiration,support,help,liberty,perseverance,grit,willpower..are some key elemnts to jolt india awake and turn dreams into reality.In today's fast paced and dog-eat-dog world news channels and newspapers prove to be vital sources about whats happening around you.By showing murder and related issues,the viewer is expected to be sensitized,not entertained.
True,some news channels conduct open discussions which include suggestions,advice and precautions about the concerned issue but its impact is dimnished with parallel programmes showing journalists reporting about haunted houses or asking amusing questions like,"you are a blast victim ,how are you feeling?".
I hate to quote,but some channels like IndiaTV,Live India,News X,Azad news and many more are busy discussing the daily soaps,celeb lifestyles,ways to scare off ghosts and other irrelevant,uneccessary and brain numbling issues.They unfortunately attract the attention of the people living in the rural areas and,I daresay are a bad influence.
In a nutshell,lets hope that in the future we experience more mature,useful and expedient stuff from the mass media.
