Interesting Article on the Indian Media - Who Scans Media?

IBNLive.com has an interesting article called "Face The Nation: Who Scans Media?"

YES! The media needs to be judged. They have played a critical role in our nation for a very long time now. However I now see greed overtaking good intentions.

News, any news! As long as I get there first! And stay on it till I have wrung every single drop of news I can.

What of the cost? What of Anant and his kidnapping? Why was the media covering it so intensely? What if harm had come to the little boy because the kidnappers panicked?

Social Justice is a high ideal. The Jessica Lal case deserves the attention it gets because it is about the criminal and not the victim. When the media hounds the victim then they become the criminal.

Take care guys. Freedom is never free.
