I once wanted to be a journalist. Looking at the papers i get in my household, Dainik Bhaskar and The Times of India i sometimes wonder where this distant dream had started off. Certainly not from these newspapers. Certainly not from stuff like HT, the Pioneer or Nav Bharat either, other newspapers i grew up with in other cities.
Then where could the seed have been sown. And i found the asnwer of the root of my once strong desire in the very roots of journalism. The Idea or concept of journalism. The idea of investigating, reporting and criticising. Today journalism has creeped down from the idea of journalism that i loved to the abhorrent act of news reporting. There is no critical view point now. Mind you that doesnt mean a lack of criticism. We are in an age of criticism. We will criticise Aishwarya Rai for wearing shades that cost 10 lakh in a film and we will all cheer as a steroid overdosed giant comes over to his homeland for playing a role in a fake wrestling industry and now wishes to 'act' in a film.
How, i ask you, will The Great Khali deliver his dialogues when he cant talk otehr than babble like a baby. Oh ya,, we have dubbingg now. So we're assured he cant act, his dialogues will be dubbed,,,, then whats he doing there. ACTION ofcourse.
And not to mention we dont lack an audience that can become appreciative of almost anythign if its advertised long enough and hypocritically enough.

Oh, how did i end up on Khali from Journalism. Maybe coz i was thinkign about INDIA TV's non stop coverage of his antics in the world wrestling sphere....

As i was saying, journalism in india doesnt seem to be quite the act its suppoosed to be. Specially when video journalism is the rage and the standard of the newscasters and the stuff their producers tell them to sell us is so 'high'.

Bleh! I cant write anymore,,, not from laziness but well just thinking about how futile the whole thing really looks to me. wtf is my view gonna do.
Best i Lay it all to rest and go see what new revelations these information moguls have for us.
