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.

The rise of a new fraud in the name of Dream Cruise Job.

The country has seen so many positive changes in all these years, the new government has availed many schemes for the skill development and career opportunities yet lots of young graduates are struggling to get proper jobs. S killed and well-educated job seekers don’t get the right opportunity which has led many cases of people suffering from anxiety and depression sometimes resulting in suicides.   There have been many episodes by known Hindi Journalist Ravish Kumar regarding the struggle of youths getting government jobs which rose protests all over the country. The journalist tried to make a difference but his effort wasn’t good enough to impress the government to avail jobs and right the wrong. The Lack of jobs have opened portals for fraud and scam where a job seeker is promised a permanent job and he/she is asked for money which is never refunded and then they vanish. It hasn’t been many days since the young Sagar Thakur also known as “Shaggy” the alleged mastermin...

क्या ये गंभीर और युवराज के लिये आखिरी आईपीएल है?

अगर गौतम गंभीर और युवराज सिंह आपके पसंदीदा क्रिकेटर है तो इस आईपीएल उनको अच्छे से देख लीजिए क्या पता ये साल उनका आखिरी सीजन हो। राष्ट्रीय टीम में सालों से बाहर चल रहें दोनों ही खिलाड़ी इस आईपीएल में अपने फॉर्म से जुझ रहें है। ऐसा कहा जाता है कि हर खिलाड़ी का एक वक्त होता है और शायद अब इन सीनियर खिलाड़ीयों का वक्त चला गया है। अपने समय में अच्छे अच्छे गेंदबाजों के छक्के छुड़ाने वाले युवी आजकल आईपीएल टीम के लिए बेंच गर्म कर रहें है। दो वर्ल्ड कप फाईनल के हीरो गौतम गंभीर भी अंतिम एकादश में जगह बनाने मे नाकाम रहें है। कोलकाता को दो बार चैंपियन बनाने वाले कप्तान का टूर्नामेंट के बीच में कप्तानी छोड़ते ही कयास लगाए जाने लगे थे कि अब शायद आईपीएल के इतिहास में पहली बार गौतम गंभीर को आखिरी ग्यारह में शामिल नहीं किया जाएगा। गंभीर एक सूलझे हुये खिलाड़ी है और जैसे ही उन्हें ये लगा कि अब उनकी जगह टीम में नहीं बनती है तो वो क्रिकेट को अलविदा कहने में देर नहीं करेंगें। कुछ लोगों का मानना हैं कि बल्लेबाज विरेन्द्र सहवाग, सौरव गांगुली और राहुल द्रविड़ में काफी क्रिकेट बाकि रह गया। समय से पहले ही स...

Democracy allows protest, not violence and death with it.

We have seen many popular protests in India. Some were democratic and some were non-violent and undemocratic. Famous Anna Hazare’s agitation for Lokpal Bill in country’s Capital was non-violent and very cooperative. Jat Agitation in country was violent and the government lost crores. And then there were people who went mad over arresting of Ram Rahim Baba. Here also we lost capitals. Before few days farmers were protesting in Maharashtra which was very silent and non-violent. Protests and agitations makes democracy beautiful but on the name of them if you are involved in killing of people how could you justify it. Great Mahatma Gandhi had many shades, his best one was non-violence. However, some people think that there were instances where he should have gone against it. The country lost millions of Capital with the Bharat Bandh today when people were on road protesting against the decision of supreme court in making changes in SC\ST act. Disagreeing with the decision and marchi...
