MEDIA IS DEVOID OF VALUES
( Published in “The Hindu” dated Dec.28,2008)
The media has failed to react in a responsible way during the Mumbai attacks. It sums up the limited agendas of present age media that seems to prefer commercial interests over humane interests. It fails to understand the fact that self-serving interventions, all in the name of exposing harsh realities, makes mockery of the people hit by the negative developments.
No body would like to be turned into a caricature during the tragic incidents. I fail to understand why media is so interested in treating everything as saleable ? It would indeed be a great loss if media comes to lose its respect via such atrocious behaviour in troubled times.
