Overcoming Barriers: Media in Covering Conflict-Sensitive IssuesDonbassFullAccess
The study examined Ukrainian journalists' values, attitudes, and practices in covering the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Researchers conducted focus groups and interviews with journalists to understand how they view their role in reporting the conflict, their guidelines, and common editorial practices. The study aimed to fill gaps in knowledge about journalists themselves and complement previous analyses of media content. Key findings included journalists' understanding of their role in reconciliation, common guidelines followed, and standards used in conflict reporting. The research provided insight into factors influencing Ukrainian media coverage of the sensitive issues related to the ongoing conflict.
This summary discusses Stuart Stevens' criticisms of the modern political press corps that covered Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign. Stevens lamented the inexperience of many reporters on the campaign trail. He claimed they lacked an understanding of voters and how to cover campaigns, instead focusing on trivial process stories. Stevens argued this was due to the reporters being young and inexperienced, without mentors who could teach them the skills of interpretive political journalism developed by reporters in the past. The challenges faced by modern campaigns and political journalists in the era of social media and 24-hour news cycles are also discussed.
This document provides an overview of objectivity in journalism. It discusses that objectivity means avoiding personal biases and using neutral language. Reporters should give both sides of an issue equal representation to remain fair. Objectivity applies to how stories are written and how reporters conduct themselves. The stages of objectivity are having a negative capacity, being modest, properly processing facts, and being willing to betray friends for the sake of truth. Journalists prioritize truth over loyalty to any group.
This document discusses conflict sensitive journalism. It defines conflict and violence, and explains the causes of conflict. It then provides guidance for journalists on how to report on conflicts in a sensitive manner. This includes examining all sides of conflicts, avoiding inflammatory language, and seeking to understand the interests and goals of different parties rather than taking sides. The document also discusses how media can either escalate or help resolve conflicts, and provides tips for training journalists to report sensitively on conflicts, such as uncovering personal biases and understanding the stages of a conflict.
The document discusses the role and responsibilities of journalism in a democratic society. It explores whether journalists should aim for objectivity or acknowledge their biases, and whether the media should actively shape policy or serve as watchdogs of government. It also examines the business factors influencing media organizations and the changing nature of journalism in the digital age. Key themes are the importance of accuracy, balance and original reporting in quality journalism.
The document discusses how the American media failed to adequately report on the Rwandan genocide of 1994. It began with hate messages targeting Tutsis on Rwandan radio. After the president's assassination, radio broadcasts incited the Hutu population to systematically kill Tutsis. Over 800,000 Tutsis were killed. The media failed to recognize it as a genocide and provided distorted coverage for several reasons. Coverage of international news focuses on stories that appeal to American audiences. The genocide received less attention than other events like the O.J. Simpson trial. It also did not fit the criteria for how the media typically covers crises or foreign affairs. This led to oversimplified portrayals that obscured the truth and
The document discusses the challenges journalists face in maintaining objectivity given their own backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives. It notes that journalists cannot fully separate their worldviews from their reporting. While journalists aim to be unbiased, their views are shaped by their own experiences. The document also examines data finding that most journalists identify as independent or Democrat, with about a third identifying as Republican, moving somewhat closer to the overall US population. It raises questions about whether journalists should advocate for particular views or help victims as advocates rather than just reporters.
1) According to Steven Barnett, there are four phases of the relationship between media and politics in postwar Britain: deference (1940s-early 1960s), equal engagement (1964-1970s), disdain (1970s), and contempt (current).
2) The phases show a shift from deferential media to a more watchdog role as media gained power through technologies like television.
3) However, the current phase of contempt is characterized by distrust between politicians, media, and the public, breeding cynicism.
4) The author argues the relationship can be repaired through open communication and acknowledging past mistakes, in order to rebuild trust.

The document discusses what constitutes news and factors that determine newsworthiness. It notes that news must be factual, timely, interesting to readers, involve prominent people or events, have human impact, and include conflict or drama. It also distinguishes between "hard news" about important issues and "soft news" that entertains. Additionally, it discusses how different audiences and media outlets have varying views on what is considered news.
This document provides an outline for a paper that will investigate how media outlets cover stories about female suicide bombers. The paper aims to examine how western media reports on female suicide bombers compared to male bombers, and to understand discrepancies in coverage. The methodology will involve reviewing secondary sources on the topic, gathering primary source news articles from western and alternative outlets like Al Jazeera, and analyzing patterns in how gender influences portrayal. The paper acknowledges limitations like potential bias in some Arab news sources and the large volume of articles to review.
The document discusses different types of media bias, including in print media, visual media like cartoons and ads, data displays, and personal narratives. It provides several examples of alleged liberal bias in how issues like gun control votes and the reporting on homelessness are portrayed. The conclusion acknowledges that completely unbiased reporting is difficult but that media should aim to minimize bias.
This document discusses the author's research topic on media in American politics. The author will investigate the history of media in politics from yellow journalism to today. They will also examine the role of media in shaping political views, and how media outlets, the American people, and government figures all interact. The author questions how accessible and reliable different media sources are, and whether true unbiased news is possible. They acknowledge an opposing view that claims no liberal media bias exists, but argue that an overall political bias influences American views.
Media bias has been an ongoing issue that Accuracy in Media (AIM) was founded in 1969 to expose. AIM gives examples of media bias such as NBC editing 911 calls in the George Zimmerman case and ignoring poor unemployment numbers under President Obama. While the National News Council intended to address bias, it was ineffective and dissolved in 1983. Throughout the 1970s-1980s, newspapers and broadcast news leaned liberal but have since lost influence to the rise of cable news like Fox News, which addresses the bias that other networks ignore. Studies show most journalists are liberal and supported Democratic candidates. AIM continues working to combat bias and hold media accountable by fact checking coverage of issues like the Trayvon Martin case. Social media now
The document discusses identifying good journalism and discusses principles of journalism such as accuracy, balance, and fairness. It asks questions about whether something is good journalism by examining if the information is verified, helps citizens, and involves citizens. It also asks if news needs to be amusing and relevant at the same time. It discusses how the business of television is changing broadcast news.
This document discusses conflict reporting and the importance of teaching context and taking a slow journalism approach. It covers several key points:
- There are different types of war reporting - short updates and tall tales, but long-form pieces that provide deeper context are often more enduring.
- Both short and long forms are needed to cover events fully across multiple platforms. Taking time for in-depth research and diverse sources is especially important for conflict reporting.
- When teaching students about conflict reporting, it is important to expose them to ideas around framing, sources, language use, and understanding root causes rather than just presenting simplistic stories.
- New technologies are creating diverse career paths for journalism graduates beyond traditional media
The document contains case studies from various public relations campaigns. The first case study describes a crisis management situation for Coca-Cola in Pakistan involving layoffs. The PR agency advised Coca-Cola on messaging and helped guide the situation to minimize negative impacts. The second case study discusses a media advocacy campaign in Pakistan to repeal a new 20 paisa tax per SMS. The PR agency placed stories and secured media coverage opposing the tax, which was ultimately withdrawn. The third case study outlines international event management for an AKD Securities investment forum in London, which secured investor attendance and media coverage to promote opportunities in Pakistan.
Data Driven Media: Understanding Programmatic AdvertisingThe Holla Agency
This is the slideshow that was presented in this month's Data Driven Media: Understanding Programmatic Webinar where JJ Eastwood from and Rochelle Cass discussed Programmatic.
The document discusses the relationship between media and society. It notes that media draws content from society and society uses media to educate and inform individuals. However, as media has become more commercialized and focused on profits, it has started prioritizing attracting audiences and advertisements over serving societal needs. This has led media to promote sensationalized and untrustworthy content. The document argues that the commercialization of media has created an unhealthy dynamic where media acts more as an industry catering to markets rather than as a watchdog for society.
This document appears to be an introduction or literature review section of a dissertation analyzing the portrayal of women in films by Indian directors Rituparno Ghosh and Shyam Benegal.

The document discusses several aspects of labor management including its key features, objectives, and the relationship between management and workers. It also describes approaches to industrial discipline, forms of industrial democracy, common causes of industrial disputes and grievances, and components of an effective compensation system. The goal of labor management is to achieve objectives through cooperation and mutual understanding between workers and management.
The document summarizes key concepts and thinkers related to media ethics, including truthfulness in reporting, conflicts of interest, sensationalism, photo editing standards, and balancing commercial and public interests. It discusses Aristotle's golden mean of virtue, Kant's categorical imperative, Mill's principle of utility, and Rawls' veil of ignorance as ethical frameworks. It also covers challenges like deliberate deception, balancing corporate and reporting interests, and the role of advertising in media.
Trade unions in India were formed to protect and promote the interests of workers by representing them, negotiating on their behalf, and giving them a voice in important decisions. Their key functions include collective bargaining for better wages and working conditions, and providing various services to members. While multiple unions can exist in one industry, having too many unions can cause issues, so a single union per industry is often suggested as the ideal solution. Some of the major national trade union organizations in India are AITUC, CITU, HMS, and INTUC.
Dadasasheb Phalke (THE FATHER OF INDIAN CINEMA) Prachi Porwal
Dadasaheb Phalke (1870-1944) is considered the father of Indian cinema. He was born in a small village in India and developed a passion for photography and art from a young age. After experiencing business failures and being inspired by a silent film, he decided to make India's first motion picture in 1913. Phalke overcame many difficulties including lack of equipment, funds and experience to establish India's film industry. He went on to direct many popular mythological and religious films. Phalke's pioneering work laid the foundation for India to develop one of the largest film industries in the world.
The document discusses the concept, characteristics, and functions of trade unions. It states that trade unions emerged to protect workers from exploitation as industrial establishments grew larger. They are voluntary associations formed by workers to promote their economic, social, and vocational interests through collective action. Trade unions negotiate with management on issues like wages and working conditions and provide job security to employees. The document also outlines different theories on why trade unions formed and discusses their structures at national and industry levels in India.
Since 1992, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has been keeping a record of atrocities committed against journalists in India. During this time CPJ has recorded 27 cases of journalists murdered in direct retaliation for their work. More than half of those killed reported regularly on corruption, crime and politics – three beats often closely intertwined. This has created a challenging environment for small-town journalists and those reporting on corruption, who are often more vulnerable to attack and whose legitimacy is questioned when they are threatened or killed.
Small-town journalists (even if a handful work for big media) often find themselves alone and abandoned when trouble strikes. In the three case studies this report focuses on – and in CPJ’s list of 27 press murders – it is hard to find a single reporter who was working for an English outlet of a large corporate media house in a big city.
An overwhelmed justice system, lack of media solidarity and a culture of impunity only add to the problems, leaving the country’s press vulnerable to threats and attacks. CPJ has found that while it is important for governments to ensure that journalists can safely carry out their work, media organisations play an essential role too, especially in protecting freelancers and local journalists. Apart from highlighting the gap in security, this report includes recommendations for the central government, the Central Bureau of Investigation, state governments, and the media.

Media bias is a problem that people are often not aware of. We see bias in news, TV shows, and newspapers, yet we often don't recognize it. Media bias shapes the impressions we form about people and issues. The media can propagate stereotypes through the stories and portrayals they choose. While media organizations claim to be unbiased, their choices about what to report and how to report it can influence the public's views.
The document provides a critical analysis of the state of electronic media in Pakistan. It summarizes that the media focuses on concept piracy from India, overexposure of unworthy politicians and retired officials, and cheap comedy shows. It also highlights issues with many anchors, journalists, and so-called experts and intellectuals who are not genuinely knowledgeable and promote a distorted view of reality. The document raises concerns that the media is unintentionally or intentionally fueling the destabilization and potential disintegration of Pakistan.
Managing perceptions: the care and feeding of the mediaMartin Hatchuel

The document discusses the basic tasks of journalism in a democracy. It identifies three main tasks: 1) observing and informing the public, 2) participating in public life through critical commentary and expression of opinions, and 3) providing a platform for other voices to reach audiences. Journalism can fulfill these tasks through different types of media outlets, ranging from internally pluralistic commercial media to partisan media oriented towards particular groups. Common journalistic roles include being a monitor, facilitator, and advocate.
The document discusses the history and evolution of journalism from its early days in print and radio to modern television, online, and investigative journalism. It covers key developments like the rise of radio in the 1920s-1940s, the shift to FM in the late 1970s, and how the internet has allowed for more immediate updates and added multimedia. The document also examines differences between print and TV news and debates around objectivity versus encouraging civic participation. Ethics, democracy, and the relationship between journalism and the public interest are also addressed.
This document discusses the risks that journalists face when reporting from hostile environments. It notes that between 1996-2006, 1000 journalists were killed, which is almost 2 per week. Reporters are often targeted and killed to prevent their stories from being published. Witnessing violence and conflict can also negatively impact journalists' psychological health, with over 25% struggling with PTSD. While support organizations provide education, journalists continue to suffer without adequate protection, training or mental health support for working in dangerous conditions.
Chapter 9: Make the New Comprehensive and ProportionalZachary Schmidt
The document discusses the importance of comprehensive and proportional journalism. It argues that journalists act as "map makers" for citizens to navigate society. A good map maker includes all relevant information and roads to give travelers an accurate picture. The document suggests journalists should cover a wide range of topics, demographics and communities to be comprehensive map makers. It also warns against only focusing on sensational stories for profit or popularity at the expense of important news. Credibility as a trustworthy map maker depends on balanced and truthful coverage.
This document provides a summary of a media critique presentation discussing various topics related to media and communication. It discusses how media constructs reality, has ideological messages and social/political implications. It examines concepts like embedded reporting during wars and how media can manipulate the truth. It also analyzes how media portrays religious groups, particularly how it tends to popularize fundamentalist aspects and present a dualistic representation of majority vs minority groups. The document advocates for alternative media and grassroots dialogue as a way to challenge myths spread by mass media and promote interreligious understanding.

This document discusses the Indian cultural group Kabir Kala Manch. Formed after religious riots in Gujarat, the group uses music and poetry to raise awareness about social issues and inequality. They perform street plays and songs addressing topics like economic disparity and the death of democracy. However, some recent shows were cancelled due to claims that the group threatens national security by openly criticizing government policies. The group continues performing in slums, universities, and theaters across India to distribute their message of social change.
ROLE OF INDIAN MEDIA IN CONFLICTING TIMES: AN ANALYSIS OF THE AUDIENCE RESPO...Swarna Bhattacharjee
Much has been written or spoken about the Kargil War and the 26/11 attacks and more would be further articulated. During the time, the media worked fundamentally to quench the insatiable urge of the public craving news on these two major incidents. The 26/11/2008 terror attacks received unprecedented continuous live coverage on television. Similarly, the Kargil War became the first live war in South Asia that was given such an elaborate and detailed media coverage. However, the questions that could be raised here might focus on the sensitivity of Embedded Journalism; do the media enunciate War propaganda?

The document discusses media bias and whether it truly exists. It argues that while both liberals and conservatives claim bias in the media, the bias may be more of a myth perpetuated by political leaders to convince their followers. It aims to analyze cable news and talk shows to determine if provable bias exists or if the perception of bias depends on one's political viewpoint. It also discusses how context and a communicator's situation can influence the understanding and perception of messages.

“A brief examination of the sole issue of Publick Occurrences shows that a total of thirteen news
stories appeared in its few pages. More than half of them (eight) contained references to
American Indians, verifiable proof that American Indians have been a part of American
newspapers since that mass medium first existed on this continent.” (p11)
Sanchez (2012) describes content analysis and framing of each of the eight news stories and then
discusses “Bias, Framing and Newspaper Conventions” using research findings.
“Some of the news frames that were used to describe American Indians in
Publick Occurrences in 1690 can still be found in the American mass media in
the twenty-first century. On assessing positive and negative values exhibited
toward American Indians in the eight news stories from Publick Occurrences
that reference them, it can be seen that they fall within either positive or negative news
frames.”(15)
Frame 1. Positive
Shared Thanksgiving celebration
Frame 2. Negative
"barbarous" and lurking
Frame 3. Negative
"butchered" the ship's master and several of the men
Frame 4. Positive
collaboration of citizens of Albany and New York and members of the
Five Nations of the Iroquois
Frame 5. Negative
Indians "pretend" smallpox at home has prevented promised support of
colonists; several prisoners are used in a manner "too barbarous for any English to approve"
Frame 6. Negative
the people all either "butchered" or "captived"
Frame 7. Negative
Indians have in revenge "barbarously butchered" forty captives
Frame 8. Neutral
Indians take some French captives and are now sending a force farther
afield, outcome uncertain
“This summary reveals that only one of the eight news frames that include American Indians can
be considered entirely positive in referencing them. Only one story falls into a neutral category
and cannot be considered negative or positive in referencing American Indians. The remaining
five of these eight news stories exhibit framing images that are negative or insensitive toward
American Indians. Thus, negative imagery makes up the majority of all the news frames
referring to American Indians in the first recognized newspaper in America. One other notable
ethnocentric perception arose in the newspaper media with the publication of Publick
Occurrences: the monolithic images of the good Indian and the bad Indian. From the news stories
contained in Publick Occurrences one can see that Indians are considered good Indians when
they can be referenced as allies, friendly, and "our" auxiliary Indians.
They are considered bad Indians when they go against the status quo in the Boston of 1690” (15)
“...these are French Indians, butchers, lurking, lying about having smallpox, undependable,
"salvages," abusing French prisoners in a manner "too barbarous for any English to approve"—

This document provides an overview of semiotic analysis and key semiotic concepts. It begins by defining semiotics as the study of signs and sign systems. Some key points made include:
- Semiotics examines how meaning is constructed through signs such as words, images, sounds, gestures and objects.
- Ferdinand de Saussure distinguished between the signifier (form of the sign) and the signified (concept represented).
- Charles Sanders Peirce developed a triadic model of the sign consisting of the representamen (sign vehicle), object (referent), and interpretant (sense made of the sign).
- Signs can function as icons, indexes or symbols depending on their relationship to what they
Mass communication in prevention & control of AIDSArchana R Singh
The document summarizes a study on the role of mass communication in preventing and controlling AIDS in India. The study examined AIDS awareness among adolescents in Delhi and Ghaziabad through surveys, focus groups, and analysis of print media coverage from 1993-2004. Key findings were that television was the most effective medium for AIDS messages, but print media coverage lagged; adolescents were aware of AIDS but did not see it as a health risk; and they preferred getting health information from medical professionals and teachers rather than other sources.
The document discusses the state of media in India and the need for pro-social media. It provides statistics on newspaper, television, radio and phone access in India. It notes the dichotomy between urban and rural India. It advocates for development journalism that informs, educates and entertains readers while addressing social issues and guiding readers. It highlights some examples of media campaigns in India that have addressed issues like sati system, child marriage and caste discrimination.
Dr. Archana R. Singh discusses the interrelationship between art, culture, media and communication. She explains that [1] the medium shapes the message and context, [2] stories are important for moral, cultural and cognitive development, and [3] media has evolved from oral to print to electronic formats. She then analyzes trends in media like globalization, digitization and personalization and how they affect popular culture and cultural identity. Overall, the document examines how art, culture and media influence each other and the role of mass communication in both reflecting and shaping society.
This document discusses various aspects of communication including:
1) Describing the sender-receiver model and barriers to effective communication.
2) Explaining the differences between speaking and public speaking and common barriers to listening.
3) Emphasizing the importance of non-verbal communication including kinesics, proxemics, and other non-verbal cues.
The document discusses several key issues regarding public relations (PR) and ethics: 1) PR faces ethical questions because it must be creative and competitive while balancing multiple duties to stakeholders; 2) ethical decision-making is complicated by factors like uncertain consequences and mixed outcomes; 3) personal interpretations of ethics codes can create conflicts, so codes should be clearly defined and aligned with personal moral beliefs. It also outlines norms that can guide ethical PR practices, such as utilitarianism, social responsibility, and treating all people equally.
1. The document discusses biases that influence how the media reports on environmental issues. It focuses on how news values prioritize stories that stoke outrage over informing people about real risks and hazards.
2. Key biases identified include favoring alarming content over reassurance, extremes over moderate views, opinions over data, and outrage over informing people about environmental hazards.
3. These biases stem from news values that prefer dramatic, event-driven stories featuring conflict and human impact rather than more objective analysis of issues. Technical details are often overlooked in favor of simplistic narratives.
Technology has become deeply intertwined with society and affects many aspects of modern life. It drives the collection, production, and sharing of information through various media channels. Advancements in both pure and applied sciences continue to impact and transform society through technological developments.

#First_India_NewsPaper
1. Depiction of media diversity: Thematic
deconstruction of `Pipli Live’
By Archana R Singh
2. .
Cinema on rural life
Cinema has tackled the issues of agrarian
crisis since Mother India, Upkaar, Dharti
kahe pukar ke and many others to the
latest Summer 2007 .
one film that has tackled the above issue
through a satire on political, bureaucratic
and media response to the same is Pipli
Live ( 2010, Amir Khan productions)
3. The reviews
Nikhat Kazmi of the Times of India gave the film three and a half out of
five stars stating," How smart can Indian cinema get? Exhilarating
answer: Very smart. “And that's the bottom line of Peepli Live.”
Taran Adarshof Bollywood Hungama gave it four and a half out of five
stars and argues that "the concept (farmers' suicides) would
instinctively translate into a serious, thought-provoking film.
Mayank Shekhar of Hindustan Times gave the film four out of five stars
arguing that "the satire is irresistible; the subtext, compelling. And yet
neither shows itself up in any form of self-seriousness.
Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN also gave it three and a half out of five
stars, calling it "a scathing satire on the country's apathy towards the
rural class, and specifically towards farmers
The Statesman gave the film 4 out of 5 stars noting that, "Anusha Rizvi
demolishes successfully whatever little faith we had in the political
process. Peepli (Live) is entertaining and inspiring".
4. The media ignores the media
The film talks about the impending death of a farmer
It delves upon one apparent and one implicated
death; that of the `mud digger’ being symbolic of silent
death of the poor and impoverished
More importantly, it manages to metaphorically
announces the death of the rural print media through
the small time reporter of sole proprietor rural
newspaper.
The film takes a long hard look at the market driven
media environment
A student of media can discern a commentary on the
dilemma being faced by the Indian media persons in
every dialogue and description.
5. Objectives
This paper tries to identify the deeper nuances of
media diversity as shown in the film.
To go beyond the superficial depiction of media
appearing to be only about salability of the story and
the circus created by electronic media pouncing on
`breaking news’.
To take a concentrated look at the diverse aspects of
media which speak about the changes that the
profession of journalism is going through and the
insecurity being felt by the journalists.
To conduct a qualitative thematic analysis of the film
through emerging themes and their contribution to the
narrative.
6. Methodology
The film has been analyzed through qualitative
thematic analysis
The priori, non content-specific scheme of
coding has been used for the purpose of
analyzing the visual data
The codes are derived directly by the
researcher from the themes originating in the
film and the data are examined and sorted into
the scheme
7. Unit of analysis
Emerging themes relating to the issue of diversity of media are:
Urban/rural
Rich /Poor
Alert/laid back
Sensitive/Callous
Opportunist/idealist
Print/television
Sole proprietor/Corporate
Bureaucratic pressure/market pressure
Inter-media competition
Intra-media competition
8. Data Analysis
Media makes an entry
Natha’s brother is shown listening to a newspaper story
about farmers’ suicide published in `Jan Morcha’ being
read out at a tea stall. ( 1)
Urban elitist media in the form of English news channel
makes its entry into the frame of the film with a `Shilpa
Shetty’ story in the lead. Farmers’ suicide story is the
third lead in the bulletin on air ( 2)
Hindi media makes its entry as a viewer of English
Channel. ( 3)
9. Media-politics relationship
The nexus between politicians with the correspondents
of the English channels is casual, friendly and one of
symbiotic interdependence made clear by their
dialogues about attending each other’s parties
relationship with Hindi channel reporter is about
sycophancy and feet touching.
10. Print/Electronic
Print is the first medium to make its entry and
is depicted as a reliable medium. It is also the
first medium to break the Natha story.
Governmental action in the form of `Lal
Bahadur’
License of Jan Morcha being revoked.
Electronic media is hesitant about the
coverage but later attacks it like an army
operation
11. Print media in the film
Breaks the news at the local level.
Breaks the first Natha story.
Is being followed by/referred to local politicians.
Is represented only by small sole proprietor rural newspaper and
only one instance of an international magazine when the Natha
family makes it to the cover of the Times, with the headline, `The
great Indian tragedy’. It exists in two extremes of hyper-local and
global i.e. either the Pipli newspaper or Time magazine.
There is no national or regional print media to provide inter-media or
intra-media competition
Is prone to closure and governmental action.
Is not considered as competition by the electronic media. The inter-
media competition is visible in the broadcast channels only.
12. Rural/Poor
The Rural media is symbolized by a sole proprietor
(NavKranti Prakashan) small newspaper called `Janmorcha’,
an aggressive suggestion to the otherwise meek existence
rural print media reporter turns out to be the only media
person with a `nose for news’. He is first to recognize the
Natha story, first to break it in his newspaper, first to
recognize a good story in the Mahto the mud digger.
He is also first to notice the futility of Natha story, first to
notice suspicious behavior of police officers who have kept
Natha in a warehouse ,first to reach the spot and find Natha
and first to martyr his life for the cause of a good story. He is
however unaware of his capabilities and is starry eyed about
electronic media.
13. Urban/Rich
Hindi urban electronic media has been portrayed as
sensationalist, opportunistic and self congratulatory.
They mostly are shown as keeping an eye on the
English Channel reporter and following her lead. They
are shown indulging in sensational journalism by
encouraging superstition asking the villagers to
pretend to be possessed
The English Channels are insensitive, opportunistic,
TRP driven and unconcerned with human discomfort
and cleverly hide their callousness behind the garb of
professionalism. Crude opportunistic with local
residents and condescending towards local media
14. Sole proprietor/Corporate
The Natha story is picked up by the English Channel
followed closely by the Hindi channel based solely on
the editorial decision making of the higher hierarchy of
the media establishment and not by the reporters
The reporters are shown taking decisions on event
oriented news and not on perspectives.
The sole proprietor is portrayed as scared. As it is he
is struggling with lack of support system, limited
resources and untrained staff, and to add to his woes
are the political and bureaucratic pressures. He
cringes at every question and places the blame on the
correspondent.
15. Conclusion
The basics of journalism suggest verification
The small time print reporter dies in the explosion
and everyone assumes that Natha is dead. No
one verifies.
Natha, the farmer is dead, a fact that media has
not noticed. Natha, the migrant labour has just
been born and nobody perceives.
A more tragic death is that of Rakesh. He who,
symbolizes, print media, the sensitive media, the
only media with some nose for news, the alert
media and the small grassroots media.
16. Epilogue
The film for a media student is reflective of the
condition of journalists in the small, sole
proprietor print media.
Unrecognized, unappreciated, dying a quiet
death amid the din of corporate media.
As they go extinct, the elite urban media blows
dust to the rural hinterland and will return to
the Piplis of India only when they have the
TRP friendly, eyeball catching, `breaking
news’!
