Indian Media - Group of fiction writers and yelling jokers

Profession - Journalism

Job Description / Skills Required:

Fiction writing - Cook up a sensational story and theory !! 
Creativity - Create news headlines with no relevance to content !! 
Presentation skills - How to present 2 mins content in an hour by repeating same line 50 times !! 
Be Loud - Yell at top of your voice !! 

The work by our media channels has gone down so drastically in the last few years.

It seems like the job of journalists is to work from home, sit and think of a sensational fictional story and then present 10 minutes of content in a 1 hour show.

The news show now a days consist of few yelling people who will be cooking up new stories with no facts and evidences.

Each and every news headline is a question, not a statement. The news headline now a days are like

Is Corona a hoax? 

Was SSR murdered? 

The Hathras case was planned? 

There is no revelation, no evidence, no facts but only conspiracy theories. I never knew if this is what media stands for. I used to think that the job involves bringing facts to the knowledge of people which means the journalists have to go out and try to find the proofs and truth.

Now it seems like journalism is a great platform to showcase your fiction writing and creative skills by sitting in an air conditioned studio. Not to forget, it is the best choice of profession if you are capable of yelling at top of your voice

I don't understand what has happened to the ethics of Indian media, when they link each and every news with caste and religion. I don't understand how a girl is dalit is more important information than what has happened with her.

I'll tell you why, because causing religious outrage will give media more news to run for next few days. 

Don't you feel any responsibility towards the profession and is everything just a matter of TRP.

Gone are the days when journalists believed in the power of pen. The pen is mightier than sword but only if it is in right hands.

And I need to mention about the next best profession in our country which is politics where set of roles and responsibilities of a politician is only to find a way to defame another party by creating some kind of chaos,  no matter how many lives are affected in the process.

There is not a single media channel or political party in our country that understands the actual roles and responsibilities of their profession.

Not sure which way our country is heading, if this is not going to change soon.
