We, the media. The Bahrain ferry disaster. This just in from a friend in Bahrain. I am extremely angry with the kind of shallow, superficial and senseless 'reporting' that seems to go on. Yesterday, a ferry capsized in Bahrain and among the 62 dead were, almost, 17 Indians. And yet. none of the Indian new channels that we get here (NDTV, Star News, Zee News) bothered to even give it the kind of saturation report that CNN and BBC and Al Jazeera did. Contrast this with CNN and BBC, and it was amazing to se...

We, the media. We, the media. There are so many of us bloggers who straddle MSM and blogs, earning our livings in the media in some way - in newspapers, magazines and TV channels, in advertising and PR, as journalists, columnists, freelancers, writers, consultants, researchers. And we know there's much that's wrong there. Things that need pointing out. Things that we, as insiders, wholly or part-time, can see just as clearly as those on the outside. Is there a place for this? The Bahrain ferry disaster.

We, the media. Naresh Fernandes, Editor, Time Out, is unhappy about the recent arrest of a TOI reporter for "deliberately injuring religious sentiments." He'd like to get a discussion going on the matter. Here's his letter. I’d like to call the attention of your readers to a cynical attempt by political workers to inflame religious passions in Mumbai over the last week, harnessing the eager assistance of the authorities to turn the press into the scapegoat. A subsequent report in Mid-Day on Feb 21. The W...
