Therefore what is required is both an intelligent media and an intelligent populace. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately in our country we have a dearth of both - of a well informed and dispassionate media agency and intelligent and rational people. And therefore to blame media is the most stupid thing to do, like Rajdeep Sardesai once said <I>we deliver what the people demand</I> if people want crap they get crap. Media is a business institution afterall.<BR/><BR/>I personally believe that audio and visual media is more to blame than print media.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21409922.post-17733169743385292082009-03-22T01:47:00.000+05:302009-03-22T01:47:00.000+05:30Never gave it any thought but I think, I agree wit...Never gave it any thought but I think, I agree with you. News tends to get sensationalised, and it is wiser to avoid doing that. True reporting should be extremely unbiased, but those reporting are human and personal feelings do reflect, so it is a small step in preventing any aggravation of feelings by mentioning castes or religions. Also many times the religion may not be relevant at all ...just my first thoughts on reading your thought provoking questions.Indian Home Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649133480442907582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21409922.post-48710103087644334282009-03-21T18:29:00.000+05:302009-03-21T18:29:00.000+05:30This what I have been complaining about for so lon...This what I have been complaining about for so long.More than the politicians,it is the media which is spreading hatered."minority community""dalit"Muslim" Hindu ,all this should be banned from media reporting as it serves no purpose except hate..hate.and hate.BK Chowla,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03869011550287421537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21409922.post-35212911233239431132009-03-21T08:08:00.000+05:302009-03-21T08:08:00.000+05:30I disagree.

I agree that at times these might be inflammatory, but then did be not finally manage to banish diseases like small pox by inoculating ourselves by the strains of the same pathogens. Just put the head in sand and wishing these away would not help.<BR/><BR/>The media has a responsibility to bring these issues out and as a society the only way we can find a solution by having those conversations, because even in this day and age prejudices and injustice exists. <BR/><BR/>By under reporting or being abstract we would only successful in brushing it under the carpet.<BR/><BR/>DiptorupDeedz2Rememberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11519330343903352953noreply@blogger.com
