Anyone who compares Barkha Dutt's theatrical style of reporting with Christiane Amanpour perspective based investigation and reporting is simply displaying his or her poor understanding of conflict and crisis reporting and journalism in general. <br /><br />Coming to the particular episode under question for which platitudes have been heaped on all BRAVE reporters, according to journalistic greats from Columbia, from where Barkha is reportedly a graduate, and other iconic institutions, this was the most irresponsible journalistic endeavors that can be imagined. Not only these reporters were feeding information to terrorists sitting at we all know where, they were also obstructing interventions which were poorly planned in the first place. <br /><br />Indians have yet not learned that revealing all information as it unfolds during a crisis is the WORST and not best journalism. Secondly, if anyone wants to learn reporting from Amanpour should know that only a limited display of emotion is required while reporting, any more of it smacks of theater and not serious journalism. <br /><br />Lastly, staying in a bunker for two days in one set of clothes is not a sign a great reporting. India TV reporters regularly go waist deep in flood to report and appear live on screen, which is going a tad too far for TRP grabbing.inyourfacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163575102893240254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-51888085531075898122010-12-06T19:27:16.499+05:302010-12-06T19:27:16.499+05:30Shobha,

Rajdeep (gale mein mike phaas gaya) Sardesai was saying in his usual (thank god not inimitable) style "If the government didn't want us to report from there, they should have set up a central news center from where we would have got updates. I think that didn't happen!" You know what, that was a precise MTV One Tight Slap moment. I mean does he know where he sh*^s from? Front or back?<br /><br />I'm sorry I may not sound very logical but you do get the point. People like Barkha and Rajdeep should be banned and locked up in a trunk that should be dropped into the deep seas! And I'm sad and ashamed that at one point I indeed did have a lot of respect for these nitwits!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166530925975241863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-24007147182091291582010-02-01T23:19:28.583+05:302010-02-01T23:19:28.583+05:30Maybe not a worthwhile point, but something on my ...Maybe not a worthwhile point, but something on my mind for some time now.<br /><br />NDTV’s program "The Buck Stops Here" has a name that is a misnomer. <br /><br />Let me tell you why - It is merely a debate show where eminent / well known people are called to discuss and air their point of view on an issue at hand. This program has no jurisprudence to provide solutions that are implemented as decided in this forum. Most of the times, there is no consensus at the debate, but a deep satisfaction that the entire issue has not been debated at depth. Mostly, this show has the participants willing to ‘pass the buck’ and less willing to ‘buck stops here’<br /><br />‘Buck stops here’ with a person of authority willing to take responsibility of the issue and provide solution, rather than pass them up to higher authorities.<br /><br />In no way, this program show does it. So, why this name? Or am I missing something?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147525530793216582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-61219457141837266572009-10-10T03:58:03.436+05:302009-10-10T03:58:03.436+05:30I came upon this post just by chance.
Joy and Ani...I came upon this post just by chance.<br /><br />Joy and Anita, do get a room. It's too late in the day(s), so you probably have, or not. :) No offense meant.<br /><br />Jokes apart, I do agree with Joy, and not without reason. I was watching the entire darned thing on TV, most of the time, and I also watched the reportage on Kargil. (Two of my first cousins being in the very war). So, the statements are corroborated, she DID make a stupid mistake back then, was apparently slapped by a Major (for giving out the location), and was told to clear the &$%^ out. No denying that, and that is definitely not a rumor. <br /><br />Secondly, I did watch her interviewing several 'important' people outside the Taj ( on the D-day), while it was an open-for-all. I did see the disinterest, while she talked to the elite, and people apparently affected by the tragely (which went on live). It was almost..Hmm...NEXT...hmm..Next! As bad as the time during the time of Gujarat quakes, and the reporter from Aaj Tak asking the boy who is barely alive ( since being dug out of a hole)" how are you feeling". A total WTF moment.<br /><br />Furthermore, I don't know, if anyone has asked it here, but has anyone questioned WHY the Black Cats were transported by a BEST bus? Anyone? And why O why did they lose two men? Aren't they supposed to be trained for the very such thing? I do not mean any disrecpect, but who is to blame here?<br /><br />I mean, screw the journalist, she is what she is, enough has been said about her, and I personally have no respect for her whatsoever. But defending her, like this? I hang my head in shame, really. Being an ex-journalist myself (of no repute whatsoever).<br /><br />So yes, I am saddened Ms Dey, by this mindless, or rather biased defensive post.helgarsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00606026770450683478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-75363162411034853402009-03-29T22:20:00.000+05:302009-03-29T22:20:00.000+05:30You wonder why public is angry with Barkha?

That is why we call them "professionals." Perhaps the word slipped you by.<BR/><BR/>And the fact that there are over 4,900 of us who want her to take a break and get in touch with her inner journalist again (rather than the aggressive, drama queen she has become of late), means that there are 4,900 lesser number of "viewers (who) want to hear what she is saying." And the reason why we are all protesting? Because we WANT her to do her job - and right now, she clearly isn't. I personally want her to go back to being the journalist she was - and I certainly hope she's able to sift through all the criticism and glean what she can from it to do precisely that.Her-masters-voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11228220111832057239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-8670399479437111922009-02-20T09:35:00.000+05:302009-02-20T09:35:00.000+05:30Well, how could you have said this when after you ...Well, how could you have said this when after you blogged so much w.r.t. the attacks.

I have just perused these highly emotive/ emotional dialogues above. What I would like to point out and suggest, with utmost humility, is that we need to improve the manner in which we perceive issues and debate upon them. The media’s role in society, will at all times be argued, at times found acceptable and appreciated, at times found otherwise and criticized. What one needs to look at is specifics of the issues, operational aspects, what and where things were handled correctly and what and when not. The evolution of a desire to make scathing remarks with the intention of hurting one another is just what bad elements desire, with a view to cause a rift in society, and it would be most undesirable for us to fall prey to such intentions. I would like to request those who blog anonymously, so as to vent their negative views, to consider first drafting their comments in a manner if the same were to be ultimately uploaded with their names and identities displayed. They may choose to blog such comments thereafter, anonymously or under their identities. This approach will result in a better quality of writing and resulting debates and may yield in positive results in terms of acceptance, resulting action and a greater uniting effect. We as a responsible society have an important role to play in guiding leaders among us and other significant people/ personalities on the right path. Do think about it. I mean well when making this suggestion.Rajiv Bhatiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15559842422520059559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-17693308727485977562008-12-20T15:21:00.000+05:302008-12-20T15:21:00.000+05:30Shobha, I have the utmost regard for you, and a lo...Shobha, I have the utmost regard for you, and a lot of admiration too.
