Instead of making the boy feel at ease (the best way to get true information), the two Aaj Tak anchors did everything they could to make him uncomfortable. The questions were crue enough to put even the hardened criminals on the defensive. Journalists are supposed to observe and then report, not to act as prosecutors shooting blunt, foolish, and repetitive questions in the presence of a lawyer. They seemed to have forgotten the basic fundas of journalism - which are nothibg more than common sense applied in a different context.

It not only lost some of its sheen as a no nonsense channel, but the dumb charade shocked a loy many of its viewers.ĭuring the whole drama, the TV anchors emerged as the worse of the lot. But sadly, it seems to have emerged poorer, as far as its image is concerned,after the episode. That is what the channel might have hoped. But one thing is for sure, no TV channel simply cannot force people to appear on the tube and make an open confession. However, these are just presumptions and could have been a figment of my imagination. Otherwise, for a city having a presence of security personnel at every other corner, what took so long for them to appear on the scene? It imay appear as vague thinking on my part, but from my experience as a journalist, it is a possibility that Sahil could have been arrested much earlier by the police, was" loaned" to the channel for a short time to enact the surrender drama in which the police was scripted to appear in the climax to claim the prize catch. After all, fake encounters are a reality, and it would have appeared a distinct possibility to his mind, looking at the high powered personalities involved.Īnd, people please don't take the other possible reason lightly. If you know even a little bit about the way things work on ground in India, you will find your answers.įor one, the boy would have been under tremendous duress fearing for his life, if he were to go to the police on his own. Maybe posterity will judge them better - as the pits of nuisance.ĭoes anyone has a cogent explaination as to why the duo chose to walk in to the TV studio for the surrender drama.Īpply your mind. Whereas the surrender 'drama' enacted in the Srinagar studios of a channel was well thought out, and shows the real values the channel stands for. The objective, of course, is to prove their viewership superiority and corner the maximum ad revenue.We have witnessed stray incidents of such types (remember Uma Bharti walking out) in the past, but that was spontaneous. As for the others, they literally wallow in crude ploys to increase the decibel levels of their trumpets, to the point that that the musical note they started with becomes a mind numbing cacophony. They are new but are improving by the day, though still not not quite there. I do not have anything to do with NDTV 24X7 or for that matter even CNNIBN, but I guess these, and maybe one or two more channels, at least try to project news in the right manner.
