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.

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 ...

Review of article "Wings Over Rajpath" from Geopoltics Magazine.

Refer to “WINGS OVER RAJPATH” (Geopolitics January 2016) by Mayank Singh . In this article writer has rightly explained that how a Republic day is made more special by Air show of Helicopters, Sukhoi, Dhruv, Chakra etc. The writer mentioned that viewers either watching live or on televisions enjoy a lot that moment when tricolor flutter in blue sky playing hide and seek with our eyes disappearing in to the clouds. There are three types of aircraft which participate and all take off from different locations. Fighters, transport and Helicopters have which have different speed and they cover different locations. Visibility of these shows are really important in the overall planning of the display. With visibility decreasing the aircraft have to be brought closer to the VIP and the public and then line of sight also has to be adjusted. The author briefly described how much hard work they have to do before performing on 26 th jan and in front of the president, prime minister and thou...

Is this a start of new beginning or mere a flashback for Saffron.

BJP winning the 2014 Lok Sabha election was something everyone saw coming the day NaMo name was out in the news to lead them in the big money involved election. Since then whatever BJP has achieved in the Country is outrageous to opposition. I don’t recall the last time when the country was ruled by a single party in these many states. Maybe it would have been achieved by mughals or someone else. But this is not something, a citizen should be proud of, where second largest party has only 3 states to rule and the leading party has 21 . Democracy can only excel when the opposition is strong too. Opposition is as important as the party in power because a democratic country needs someone who could ask questions to the party sitting on throne. However the job is meant for the   media but we know they are only playing their card to make money by gaining more and more TRPs and by other alleged means. BJP has been on a roll since Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Sha...
