one thing you have to also keep in mind about articles written by Indian publishers is that investigative journalism is basically non-existent
the amount of research that writers put into their articles is pathetically low, and editorial oversight takes a back seat to sensational headlines that grad attention and ad revenue
another way to look at Indian news media is that it actually makes Fox News in the US looks "fair and balanced"
if you think sensational seeking news media is a problem in the United States and elsewhere in the world, I don't even know how to describe how bad things have become here in India which is a shame because it used to be much better here in India
- glhaynes 16y agoInteresting. Do you have any idea what has caused that change?
- atishbabu 16y agomy guesses are a. decreasing attention span b. business - tabloid news sells better than investigative/informed journalism that presents both sides and a full set of arguments c. cheaper/easier to be an echo chamber for mob sentiment than to be the voice of reason
- glhaynes 16y agoOh, OK. Sounds like the same things going on with USA news.
- desigooner 16y agoHaving seen a fair share of Fox News and Indian media alike, they're on the same platform. Sensationalism exists in Indian media but none of them push an agenda as much as Fox news does. On the other hand, you could compare CNN here and Indian news channels for the kludges and for relying on "public opinion and insights" rather than partaking in investigative journalism.
