Media's Responsibility

In the past couple of days, everyone in the world were in front of TV and were watching what is happening in Mumbai.

Every TV channel wants to bring everything LIVE to people in the name of Media Freedom which I think is not correct. Under Live Telecast they were re-telecasting damages leading to confusion and many people thought that fresh violence is breakout.

It is learnt that Terrorist group were watching all movements from Pakistan and the same is conveyed to their team who where inside Taj Hotel over sate. phone.

This has not happened this time only but also when last time there was bomb blast in Delhi.

Without considering the seriousness they are telecasting everything whether it may be true or false. Certainly such coverage of action will give benefit to culprit to move and change their strategy. Also during Delhi blast, they repeatedly showing the poor balloon vendor again and again stating that he is having clue on the person who kept the bomb bag in the dustbin. These media people will forget one activity and will search and move to other incident but who is going to take care of the poor people who were highlighted by the media further ?

Media should feel their own responsibility or otherwise government should take quick view on this and should ban such coverages in future.

பொறுப்பை உணர்வோம் !! பூலோகத்தை காப்போம் !!
