Thanks everyone for the support.

Mohan,
Earlier there used to be editors who sort the incoming news items for their correctness, relevance, usefulness etc. These days everything is live and anything that cameraman seens is passed as a news.. Sad.

When the security forces 'cut the cable tv' in the hotels and the Nariman house area... i think we were naive to think that the terrorists were using the TV as a source of information... they were using it for entertainment!

they were using Blackberries, GPS and GPRS enabled tools and other sophisticated devices... so they could have got the news from hundreds of sources anyway...

I absolutely agree. We will be giving away our strategies and positions to the terrorists by telecasting the proceedings live.

And the home minister of the country and the army/navy chiefs giving sound bites and explaining the operation as the situation was progressing was downright stupid.

Kudos to every officer who was involved in containing the attack of terrorists.

Nidhi,
I think they have an understanding with the forces with regards to what they are allowed to reveal. I dont think that the forces are stupid enough to allow everything to be aired when lives of their troops are at stake. And if thats the case then i believe its not the media but the security forces themselves who are to blame as a times it is them who shield, allow and help the media

2008-12-01T11:11:00.000+05:30

I watched very little of what was happening, firstly because there was no access to TV and secondly because it kinda made me numb, the minute by minute update. Come to think of it, the english news channels have grown in their own sense. The hindi news channels were garish in what they were showing and saying.
As an person who studied to be in the media, the first things we were taught were

These news channels are like vultures, waiting to feed off any tradegy. I have absolutely no respect for their professionalism or their sensitivity in reporting events which might affect ongoing operations.

The way they zoomed in to show specific windows in the Taj Hotel manned by NSG Commandoes was absolutely shocking.

Also the way they pushed mikes into the mouths of the

2008-11-29T17:47:00.000+05:30

You've made a valid point. By Law, the media is not supposed to air such things in many countries. All the Elite media including players like NBC, CNN, NYTimes, ABC, FOX, Washington Post etc delay the report by 2hours. Why not follow it back home, where the terror is really happening?

The other alternative would be to air fabricated news, which could inturn misguide the terrorists :)

2008-11-28T10:49:00.000+05:30

Sensationalizing everything is the new mantra of these media folks. They presume they have rights to talk about anything in any way they think of. They should have a minimum courtesy to think on what they are repoting and how they are doing it.

I had writted a post on the same media for a different topic

Thanks Everyone.

Saithilak,
Commercial motives may not permit voluntary action-since other channels are carelessly showing everything, remaining channels may feel-'why should I not show and disappoint my viewers'

@Vikram

Makes a lot of sense.
In fact, this is what I was discussing with my brother as we watched the news

Finally, the news channel showed some sense of not showing the operation and / or giving updates about it.

Hi there,

You are absolutely Right?

How should we take this message forward is a questions which i do not have an answer.

Any suggestions or Ideas on this?

2008-11-27T20:46:00.000+05:30

Its obvious. The delay has to be taken voluntarily by media. If it is imposed on them as rule, I don't think that will work out. People bend rules.

But, when it is done voluntarily, media projects itself more succinctly in public eyes, as sensitive, responsible & blah, blah.... This leaves better impressions and this looks better option.

Officials who gave lives are
