Reality Shows

These days every channel is gung ho about the reality shows. It seems the new programming funda for the channels which are finding it difficult to engage viewers. Even a segment has been opened by then and it is kids. There is nothing wrong in targeting kids as they are big chunk of the viewers but the problem i think is the behavioral change it creates in the kids. As every one wants to become star these days, even the kids have started dreaming about the starry things at the tender age of 10 or 15. It is ok that every one has to be ambitious but not at the age of playing. It seems that it will have an adverse impact on the psychology of the kids who are prone to glamor these days because of the tv channels.

Lets discuss the what is happening in the news channels. Sometimes i feel very irritated with news channels accounts of new murders and rapes. Every news is breaking news it seems. I have closely watched the news tv scene in India and it seems that only crime sells here nothing else. there is no scope for positive news. being a journalist myself, i am not very optimistic of the change in the news scene in the near future. in the arushi case, the media played a positive role as well as negative. Positive in the sense that it created a pressure on the police to verify the facts again and again and negative in the sense that it made a big hype around a tragedy. The girl who was killed that night was just 14 years old and she was projected as a character less woman having affair with the servant who was killed in the same way. I dont know the reason of all this frenzy over the tragedy but i know the media inside and out. How journalists are behaving these days as they are criminals themselves. Not only this, there was a channel which telecast a sleazy mms saying it was arushi's mms having sex. Even then the channel is still on air. How can they tarnish the image of a child without proper verification.
Lets see what happens with news channels in the future but i am very sure that media is loosing its credibility and the day will come when readers will be verifying the news before believing it.
