Don’t worry, am not writing any news over here to hold your heart beats, but I am sure the same banner does shoot every second, now and then, on your TV screen. Sometimes the effect is from back to front or they shoot it at the bottom. In fact at moments the two words dominate the whole screen even.
This magic tool is just one amidst the numerous others, which aim at making the current news market more & more exaggerated in terms of looks. No one cares about the contents of their shop and all of them sprint in the race to be the best, merely forecasting the whereabouts of their shops. Gone are the days of news on DD-National, a quick 30 mins review of the nation’s health, more delightful. To the point and to speak in brief was the goal of our older news versions. And now the new comers barely have some brain to focus upon proving themselves to be a total waste of space. India wins the World Cup and every newsroom file bundles to publish in the context. It looks like the reporters get a leave for 2-3 days on such occasions and such interesting answers they supply to us to the most ‘important ‘ queries:
“India ka World Cup jeetna aapke lie kitna maaene rakhta hai?”
“Aaap bataaaie aapne kaise ghar baith k Indian team ko motivate kia??”
“Is desh ki jeet ko aap kaise celebrate karengi?”‘Important ‘ queries, aren’t they? May be not for us, but the common mass to whom they are put for, yes they are for it’s the only platform where a common face can show itself without any efforts on the TV. I must say the best explanation of a situation is well described by the reporters at such mega headlines only.
“Aaap dekh sakte hain kis tarah log road pe pataake phod rahe hain to wahin kuch holi k rangon se apne khushi vyakt kar rahe hain”
I wish their sensibility can feedback to their selves then and there to make them sensible. I don’t say the winning moment is not of any worth but in the row other parts of the nation are crying too and that’s what a news channel should bring in focus. Even the VIPs can’t sleep quietly-
“Aaie dekhte hain Amitabh Bachan kya kehna chaahte hain desh ki is sabse badi jeet k bare me”
God! And in the same way the successive days witness headlines with no roots and no wings-
“Breaking News: Dhoni abhi abho apne ghar pahunche hain...”
‘World Cup’ is not the only issue, which is made fun of with all above craps, it is just a little current one where I saw the blathering as above.
I am sure my most elders miss the same old DD-National half an hour news without any nonsense interruptions and without any advertisements whereas now-a-days the rubbish adds overshadow the major portions. I only wish the news media grows more discernibly.
