The Indian media~s all-consuming hunt for a sensational story often sees them trespass on an individual~s personal life with little restraint or editorial responsibility.

Are you sure The Hindu "played up" Tiger Woods story? I am a regular reader and I don?t remember ever feeling that way.

Its very disappointing to note the way media is behaving in India.They go totally berserk over anything for TRP. News trading (commercialization of news - read paid news) is very dangerous to society and democracy.
People are so much fed with this attitude and behavior that they have stopped watching news channels.

Indian media have become sick like Delhi men. They don?t know what to do and what not to do. When reporters asked former German Chancellor Gerhard Schr?der to comment on the former US President Bill Clinton?s sex scandal, he replied, " The whole world is doing it. Why should I bother about it ? I have more important tasks to be done than giving comments on Clinton. "

Sreelata,
Recently, in Kerala, a known politician was ?caught? with a woman and the media celebrated it for a few days till they had a fresher piece to tom-tom about.
Saner people wondered what was the role of the police or the moral police there? If the man?s wife made the noise, that was understandable, but here total strangers were lamenting the lack of moral standards...the channels flashed pic after pic, till I actually shut down the TV for the day.
Privacy issues play up here too... surely it is that couple?s business? And why should I , an ordinary viewer be subjected to the unsavoury details at all? It was an invasion of my privacy as well...I dont buy a TV or watch it to get exposed to these items... I would be much more bothered about what decisions are taking place in reducing the soaring prices, in repairing roads, and so on...
Maybe there are people who like to hear this all day long, I would strongly reccommend a ?genre? news channel rather than subjecting me to unpleasant, uninteresting stuff like this...
So also about Tiger Woods, the Khan-Wars in Bollywood... ughhhh, give me a break...

MEDIAWATCH BRIEFS |

Nice deal | | When Vir Sanghvi gets invited to Iceland by the government and then produces three pages in HT's Brunch on that country and why it makes a great holiday destination for Indians, what should we call that? Sponsored news?
| Protest against award | | Siddharth Varadarajan of the Hindu has written to the jury which gave the Indian News Broadcasting Award for News Reporter of the Year 2010, Hindi, to Neeta Sharma of NDTV India, protesting at the choice. He says this was the reporter who had written a false story in the Hindustan Times calling Iftikhar Gilani an ISI agent some years ago. The story contributed to the journalist's incarceration and caused Gilani no end of trouble, but the reporter and the paper never published an apology for it.
| Reason for attacks? | | The blog Churimuri has a long post which seeks to link the Times of India's daily attacks on the Commonwealth Games with the fact that the paper proposed a deal to the CWG authorities which the latter did not bite. The paper's executives apparently wrote to Suresh Kalmadi in November last year presenting a comprehensive print proposal (for Times of India, Navbharat Times, Maharashtra Times, Mirror and Sandhya Times) for Rs 12 cror .. more>>
