The difference is in the area of influence (AoI). The AoI of your job might be your customer's users to the max whereas the AoI of the news reporter is almost everyone watching the news channel. And that's where the problem is. To survive, he needs to put up a story and make it sound "good". And to make it sound good they "Sensationalise" an issue. Their favourite game is to create villains and heroes out of our politicians. In TN, you have channels that are mouthpieces of the two dominant parties present. And if you were talking about media playing a role in leading India ahead then look not beyond TN!<BR/>The same logic applies to International channels, I guess!Mysoreanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17055458584748751486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20299555.post-1146350722260419792006-04-29T15:45:00.000-07:002006-04-29T15:45:00.000-07:00hardu: I guess I agree with you.. but then is it r...hardu: I guess I agree with you.. but then is it right?

The media guys are all set to make a mountain out of a mole hill as they have someing to talk about. CNN repeats the same information so many times that I have realized that if I watch CNN for an hour, I can reproduce it exactly in the same way with the exact wordings!Mrudula Sreekanthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06240562288123664565noreply@blogger.com
