In a recently released research and analysed report of the BMW hit and run case and Shivani Bhatnagar murder case by the http://www.newswatch.in/research/1758 wherein the court verdict came out pronouncing respective cases accused as criminals. Print and online media unnecessarily hyped the accused and to some extend did the job of collecting the sympathy for the accused of the cases. Writing the points stating what Nanda (prime accused in the BMW hit and run case) wore to the court and R.K.Sharma (main culprit in the journalist Shivani Bhatnagar murder case) does in the jail, makes no point.
Hello! Is anyone interested in such frivolous issues, guess no? Media seems to work for the rich, gets operated by the rich and creates sympathy for the rich. No point talking about degrading standards of the media ethics, where in they repeatedly reported the name of the poor nun, rape victim of the Orrisa violence clashes. Talking, debating, analyzing media might be of some help but actually talking in numbers and cases media standard are going to hell.
One can always revert back to the report published by World Press Freedom Index 2008 of Reporters sans Frontières (RSF) where in India holds the position 118 in the list. The fact that monopolization of media has eaten away the ethics that are taught in the media schools giving way to lot of discrepancies in the practical scenarios.
Somebody please suggest some policy iniative to help these ‘media retail outlets’ to rise above their financial crisis and do some healthy work for the better future of our country.
