hours of an employee in India, It occupies the
Second position in the world after Japan. So,
an Indian relays on News Channels for
making a common interest and Media should
understand its responsibility.
MEDIA AS A STORYTELLER
The media is getting full of ghoulish stories.
A similar story came recently when
Bollyw ood Superstar Sridevi drowned in a
hotel’s bathtub. With every channel
predicting about what might have happened
behind the closed door of her bathroom, with
one TV anchor even attempting to enact a
bathtub drowning.
In many cases, it runs a media trial. Which
sometimes builds the wrong interest of
public. The Aarushi murder case is
an example of this. This high profile
unsolved murder case became a victim of
Media trial which made common opinion

Recall the famous evergreen sentence by your
school teacher when the class went noisy, “Is
this a fish market or what?” Now switch on
your television and watch debates on news
channels. A screen equipped with two people
supporting the topic, two people against the
topic, one expert who provokes both the sides
and a News Reporter asking questions. A time
come when everything is hearable but you can
hardly understand anything. The debate turns
into an unpolitic fight. And after you come
home at evening tired and exhausted, you
probably don’t want to watch these debates.
