Is media content deteriorating in recent times?

The question can be easily answered by seeing the No of News channels tht r cumin up every day n the kind of news they show!!
Specially India TV!!!
Sumtimes they show a child playin wid a snake or sumtime how to drive a car without a driver or sum non sense!!
Only Cnn- ibn n nDTV R WORTH WATCHING!!!!
 
It is the excessive commercialisation of Media, which forces it to show what public enjoys, without seeing the reality. That is why now a days we can see the over stretching of some 'masaledar topics'. Even you can see laughter challenge, reality shows, bhavishyawani etc but rarely find discussion on serious political or social issues.
 
Media is next to crap!! Most of these NEWS channels have turned into SOAP channels. They have changed their genre completely.

Its really irritating to see channels showing entertainment news more than anything else.

BEWARE and STAY AWAY from these News channels:

HEADLINES TODAY, STAR NEWS, AAJ TAK and ZEE NEWS

News Channels worth watching:

TIMES NOW and NDTV 24x7

they are really good channels who literally show NEWS related to the latest happenings and not exaggerated stuff.


Channels like STAR NEWS or AAJ TAK constantly show stuffs like:

Rakhi Sawant and boyfriend Abhishek,

Khali,

Ghost stories,

Abhi - Ash

etc etc etc.

For 24 hrs they will show the same piece of crap. And more annoyingly they exaggerate the headlines.


Indian Media is deteriorating heavily.
 
Hi,
When Kareena's shoes become BREAKING news material for some mews channels, it should be clear that indecency has crept in our media and it has reached the nadir of morality. However certain points are essential to be raised here. I think all of us should realise that television shows are part of show-biz business and their main agenda is to enhance their TRP ratings. India ,as we all know, is a diverse land comprising of people of various class, culture,taste and upbringing. So it is highly likely for even two brothers to have different view-points and preferences. Media channels show what we wish for- for example a guy in his late teens is more interested in sports and entertainment news, a guy in his late 50's is more into aesthetics and cultural news, some guys derives pleasure by watching our politicians act like caricatures on national stage,and the list is endless. So What should media do? It tries to cater to each and everyone's need and shows something of every possible thing. The problem is with the intense competition among various news channels, it is now a business of innovation,entertainment and being adaptive to changing needs of people rather than being a simple source of news. So instead of blaming media, I would like us to change our attitude. Afterall, media is a reflection of society,not any virtual world's propagator.
 
whatever it is it is due to demand supply economics. they cant help themselves to remain in top in the competitive sceanrio.even if some channel try to show good news just like doordarshan can anybody tell me who watches it? so guys its all our fault. unless the mindset of our society changes one cant do anything to it.
 
Yes,definitely....the media news has deteriorated recently upto a very large extent....n dis is owing 2 the fact dat TRPs hv bcum top priority nowadays n thus,news channels showcase,many a times,things which r of no importance wrapped in an exaggerative manner....Glamour news,controversies,gossips,hook-ups seem 2 b getting the 1st slot side-lining some of the most important of news at times....The same goes 4 newspapers n magazines....'Real' material is fast disappearing from the media arena.
 
media has played a big role in the society but nowadayz it has become a common sight that the news channels are sensationalizin everythin in d garb of news.
 
yep what a right point of time to pull this one out...
media sure is deteriorating but all dat is due to the mad rush race for some stupid TRP's...
some1 suggest them da KISS (keep it short and simple/sweet)theory please...
 
hi. I am a student of Pune University doing MBA. I agree with the fact that media content is deteriorating in recent times. The best example i can think of is the increasing number of reality shows.
 
infact i have heard that people many a times put just fake news in order to increase their TRPs n so they n also we have heard of d aroushi case its jsut that now a days even they keep stretching one topic on n on n on for so long.........that too with no proper content in it..........
 
Yes, its gettin worse by the minute.

All kind off stuff but news r shown on Tv. Even daily soaps n comedy shows r flashed n sensationaloised ther.

Can u imagine they show Raju Srivastav Jokes alongwith breaking the statements in the scrolling bar. What they feel u n me dont understand Hindi Jokes? Same is wid the Newspapers. One day they get up n say SRK N BIG B at war. after few days how SRK helped Junior B, n how BIG B n SRK got along well.

Only coz ppl lik to believe it somewhat they r doin so.
 
I feel dat might be deteriorating bt we need to consider the kind of information flow dat is occuring nowadays in the wake of bringing fresh news and views to the consumers. So keeping the bad impacts at bay, we need to consider the positive side as well.
 
this is a rat race to get eyeballs..

whosoever win this race can demand huge sum from advertisers..

this is turned out to be a major business nowadays.. but imagine if these news channels were not there.. and we people would be still looking at doordarshan for all the more important updates about the world in half hour slot

this crazyness of media will stop if educated people like us stop watching then, i am sure there are many news channels out there.. where they dont show all this non sense..

we should definitely be watching those channels..
