Journalism Redefined
REf - TOI (7th Sept 2006, Mumbai edition)
When death of not a celebrities but their Cat becomes the headline in National Daily, Journalism will be a camera's subject and will be taught at beauty parlor's.
The picture of Jolie and brad pitt is on a front page of a National daily with shouting captions of "we have done it", how proud it is to get their picture secretly. I was wondering to see , was it really so great thing. I felt dejected for a moment for my narrow view of world. And tried to digest this that it was really a historical event and should have been declared national holiday. Thankfully some people in media were knowledgeable enough to cover them. They took picture also , without paying anything
wish they will remember this day next year and will declare bragelina visit day and Day will be remember when their holy feet touched this land. A monument can be erected in PUne city where they will shoot for their movie. All the article they used in Hotel room should be taken to show in museum. The water used should be collected back from sever pipe and pack in expensive packaging to sell through auction. Sure there are people , who will pay anything to get that.
Now slowly but surly my eyes opening and I can feel myself totally in control of market economy where everything valuable are sold and all that has no value are projected such that they turned out to be precious article. Media create celebrities, who in return gives content to feed information (???) hungry Mass. In all this, issue which are relevant to society goes beneath, anyway who want to read that. Telling about pitty crime happened in city can label you third class news paper so come up with how a dog owned by a famous celebrity has performed in beauty contest(afcourse for animal) . Sensation, not sensitivity, is needed and if you cant find you are leaving in shell, full of problem which are there and will be there forever.
so feel proud and thank them who clicked picture.
