Who exactly is the main reason behind the failure of media?


Why is it that every second educated person has hard feelings and sense of animosity for media today. Survey is a part of my work so I get to meet many people. I have experienced that, when asked about media ,lots of them don’t have good things to say. In recent times electronic media has been criticized for its ill performance either it was a week long coverage of Sri Devi’s death or denial of the coverage of farmers agitating in Maharashtra.
What do you think, why some media houses are bound to show nonsense? People say that TRPs is the only reason they  do that. I say, we are the main reason behind news channels showing these type of non-sense.  Its very complicated, it’s not like, we see what these news channels show us, The real deal is media shows us what we want to see. It’s not that electronic media either Hindi or English don’t want to do the real journalism.
The time we stop watching nonsense like an anchor going into the lake to find the leftovers from thousand years before, they will stop broadcasting these nonsense. If we want to watch specific contents like adventure, entertainment then we can head to specific channels, why to expect it from news channels ? Aren’t we asking too much from them ? I don’t blame news channels for programmes they are showing, it’s us who should be blamed. We will not see they will not show, it is as simple as that.
It is said whenever any sector grows, it brings competition. Same thing happened to media. Journalism was started to inform, educate and aware but viewers  wanted news to be merged with entertainment. So they started doing it. News channels have thousand of employees who needs to be paid and it costs a fortune to bring live pictures to your television sets directly from the studio. They need advertisement to cover all these expenses. And advertisers pays very smartly preferring the channels with higher TRPs. We are the reason behind TRP so indirectly it’s us who are controlling the news programmes of the channels. So, ultimately we are the reason behind all the shit we see on television with our beloved family and friends.

Two days of nation love.

15 th  august is a day when patriotism for our country gets it ’s year high TRP. This is the day when all the legendary patriotic songs come to play their role to inspire us, to reignite the spirit of patriotism, to give goosebumps, to bring tears, to give nostalgia from school days of independence day celebration. Oh! I remembered, there are actually only two days in a year when we remember the sacrifices of never dying memory of freedom fighters and martyrs. Rest of the 362 days we spend on cheating, stealing, being bad to others, polluting, being corrupt or littering. We think that two days of so-called nationalism and patriotism is good enough for the country to grow and develop. Standing for the national anthem and saluting it on the republic and the independence day is not good enough to make us a contributor in making our country a better place. What we need is, commitment of the whole year, actually whole life. Everyone don’t need to do charity to become a contribut...

What happened yesterday...

I am writing after few days just because I am confused about the way things are going in my life. I have been thinking about getting a new job because I am not satisfied with the present one. This is going on for over a month and my conscious mind thinks that I deserve a better job. When you see less deserving, less skillful and less qualified person becoming your team leader, it is obvious to get these thoughts. I did journalism with a lot of hopes attached with it, that one day I will do something which I will love and I will also get paid for it but the world seems very cruel when things don’t go your way. I have been active on job portals more than at the current job to find something good. It has hardly been a year and I am having second thoughts on my career. I know that I shouldn’t get this impatient so early in my career but I could feel that I am struggling in finding an appropriate place to show my skills which is a genuine problem of this generation but more than that I ...

Chapter -2, A story of ‘HE’ and ‘SHE’ and how he fell for her.

… he wanted to tell this to the world.  (continued from yesterday’s blog) He wanted to talk to the girl but there was something which was keeping him from approaching the girl. She had become a real and strong crush in very few hours. It was not like that the guy was shy, he had few girls in his main college group with whom he never found it difficult to talk. But with “SHE” something was up. One day he thought, he will just go and talk to the girl casually not making a big deal of it. Next day after class when the professor told the group that the class is going to attend a seminar and this is necessary for everyone to go. “HE” thought his chance has come knocking the door, so he decided to take the awaited conversation to delay one more day. Delhi’s lifeline is metro, millions of people travel in it, so were the class going to.  The night before the seminar a discussion started in the WhatsApp group where and when everyone will meet. “HE” never was an involved member o...
