We know that on 26 th Nov Mumbai attack has not only put grief and sorrow, but it also underlined about electronic media. Which now dubbed as invasionary media.
After the siege was ended we saw Navy Chief Sureesh Mehta lashing out against the media at the annual Navy briefing. The fuming Admiral, who at one point even told reporters that ‘I would have chopped your heads off’ for an alleged ‘breach of privilege’, said a “Colonel was dismissed after he fired an artillery round on requests by a TV reporter that resulted in retaliatory fire which killed three jawans”.
But it was not limited to herewith, Information & Broadcasting Ministry also stepped into and issued an advisory.
The I&B Ministry in its advisory states: “Repeated visuals and stories pertaining to the attack, which would make the perpetrators feel their attack was a success, should be avoided. The media is hereby advised to play the positive role it has in its power to play to instill confidence in the citizens and send a message to the inimical terrorist forces that India is not in disarray.”
So TV journalism should not be heroic on the cost Country, people and society. Thus the disgust about News TV Channels not happening.
