is media channels really covering people problems at present

They are covering such news , which become problems after their telecast.

Only a couple of channels are doing society a favor by bringing out the real issues the AAM AADMI of India faces, wheres the majority of the news media hypes and shows only sensational stores with the sole intention of increasing their TRPs. In question are headlines like "chajje par billi chadi", "SP ka kutta gum ho gaya" and others.

The channels that focus on real issues also let the issues subside after a while. I see no one held accountable, or made to realize the mistake(s) he/she has committed. Offenders usually dodge the questions one way or the other.

Well honestly, today, I wasn’t interested in the repeated minute after minute coverage of a plane crash in Pakistan. It just went on and on about a non issue. Looked like there was no news in India that was worth it. Makes me think that India has become such a goodie-goodie place that there is no NEWS for these channels to cover !!

Today, it just was worthless piece of junk. They kept on telecasting hours of nonsense about a plane crash in Pakistan when there was so much to cover in India. This perhaps is because of their incompetence and lack of manpower to cover news.

Honestly, how many people in India would be interested in Turkey to Islamabad plane crashing in Pakistan. This could have been a 5 minutes news item, but not continuous boring of a non issue.

MEDIA CHANNELS  ARE COMMERCIAL VENTURES RUNNING TO EARN PROFITS.EACH AND EVERY SECOND IS MONEY.THEY WILL NOT LIKE TO WASTE THEIR EARNING POTENTIAL.

I accept your opinion, their aim is to increase the circulation and to compete with others.

Thanks Mr.Namrata Pathak.

Hello Mula Santoshreddy, Media Channels should highlight the achievements done by professionals like Doctors, Engineers, Businessmen, etc. But they give importance only Movie Industry and politicians. They can also highlight the shortfall of Government bodies Telephone Department, Corporation and Public Works Department.

What is TPR? It is a popularity rating. The ball is in people's court. If viewers shut them off, then they will not show non issues too much.

But there should be a law to differentiate between Actual News, Entertainment News, and importantly News Analysis. Combining all these together in one News Chanel is the worst case for many common people to understand the difference.

No. They dont, unless there is an increase in their TRPs.

And then, they cover the same news, repeat it throughout the day, again and again, with some people analyzing the news item many times over, boring the audience repeatedly.

And Of course, how can they cover more "News" when the Ad time is more than the "News" time.

Nothing innovative or new in these channels. 

Thanks for invite and completely agree with your views Namrata.

But you must agree they are as much Indian as our other opportunists and only following on the old adage of SELF FIRST.........second and third is what we are fast learning in addition in the name of globalisation and this may the cause of enhanced troubles.  

no all media is interested is TRP and money.many of the major issue by very local and national channels are never covered.

Blame it on today's generation. What is media today is because of we people "Viewers". We want only entertainment, glamorous, rumours, thrilling news. Anbody who is of this generation tell me frankly who is really watching DD news or some other national news channel like rajya sabha, lok sabha or gyan dharshan every day. May be few watch these national channels. We are not much concerned about the news which are indeed needed to our daily life. So are private media. Yes of course medias should also take their part of blame. But businesses completely rely on customers. If they really want to survive in this world, they have to satisfy customers' need. Ultimately customer is the king in this business world. If we encourage good news channel, then there is not too far to have news channel which provide the news which is very essential to our daily lives.

"Survival of the Fittest" is the order of the day.  However strong objectives they hold, to survive in the media space, they ought to run after celebrities in order to raise their TRP.  How many of us consciously watch Doordarshan, hitherto ruled the media space until privatisation started, as their programs are screened properly before they are allowed to telecast as per law.  Of late, viewers have shown their interest in masalas rather than quality.

Yes Namrata you are to the point. The channels are more concerned about their TRP rating as compared to  of peoples problems. They are in business and have to compete with channels hence TRP is more important to these channels.
