Journalism Crisis in India

We are living in a time where information is very important. Not only information but the latest information is important. In this case visual media is definitely an important source of information. News channel has a big role to play in such society. They have to provide current news to the people which is of there interest and use (Sometime interest and usage goes in opposite direction).

Yesterday I got a forward mail in my inbox which makes lot of sense to me. The mail talks about the news which a news channel shows in the TV was about Rahul's (Gandhi) food, a cat in the building and about Amitabh (Bachhan) getting cold. Is this serious media which has a responsibility to show the sensible truth. Incidently the news channel claims itself the best in India and shows the awards (I do not know why) it got in last three years proudly.
