Empowering Thoughts: Once upon a time one bottle scotch whisky now 100CRORES !

There was a time when journalism was a mission in India. But then came the era when if you desire to procure a journalist you just need a bottle of Scotch whisky. But now in this modern India, that has turned into 100 crores. Jai ho India !

I am unable to analyze how this immense transformation took place. Journalists have now become black mailers are exercising their rights in wrong manner? This sort of panorama we have spot in bollywood movies. But I haven’t thought that this would turn out to be veracity. If the fourth pillar of this democratic country will twirl it into mafiaraaz then we are no less then banana republic.

If the allegations on Zee News Editors come true then certainly journalism is suffering from malignancy.

We as media studies students in journalism ethics subject are gives examples of journalists who were in Radia Taps to explain to us, not to become like them. Congrats, now journalism professors all over the country have got new example to give to their students.

Situation is critical, on one corner, it is been told that this revolution in electronic media has brought upon change in common people lives. Before this revolution there were rural sections that were ill-bred about the cities. And effect of this contemporary 21^st century was not witness in those quarters. Cell phones and televisions brought upon this alteration. This change is appreciable, that now rural sections are also becoming modern but these electronic media channels have brought upon a hitch in journalism.

The prevalent problem is journalism fraternity is not accepting this hitch. I saw numerous reports that this arrest is immoral and Jindal group is using their political powers. In fact I was shocked to see someone like Punya Prasoon Vajpaye saying it as emergency. Gentleman, who was branded for his principles, bend down in front of his bosses. This is certainly a hitch in journalism.

Moreover we know about paid news so this hitch is not only in electronic journalism but print too. During elections, if u have money you can manipulate the news desk and published news would be according to your direction. This is one of the dilemma in journalism in this era. This is certainly a mafiaraaz of journalists which need to be eliminated.

We should analyze this arrest of Sudheer Chaudhary and Sameer Aluwalia, keeping in mind all these above attributes. Undoubtedly, this case is in court and I am not doing web trial but this case is puzzling. Picture would be clear only when these journalists explain that they meet officials of Jindal only for a story. Jai ho India !
