In Indian electronic media, breaking news is not the fresh news. It is a news to break the attention of viewers from other news and to focus on one!

Breaking news most of time will be ”Break up” of celebrity couples. Which is not at all a NEWS according to me.

Credibility of the media is at stake. Whatever media cooking up the story and project something will not happen. The best example is exit poll opinion and such other things. Media have a specific agenda to please selected section. We have to get paid for watching the TV and reading the specific newspaper. We are watching for ’their benefit’ and not ’ours’.

The media is not at fault because WE made these Breaking News thing so popular by showing our interest and eagerness.

For instance, the header of your post, ”Breaking News”, gives absolutely no idea about the content of your post, then too you got 40+ stars and 5 comments (including mine). Why???

Because its our eagerness and curious nature that pinched us to click n browse through your post.

The day we get over this curiosity, the media will stop doing this shit!

Exactly! This is what i say again and again that media is not to be blamed. They show what people like to watch.

Stop watching such programs and they’ll stop making them.

Its not rocket science people, that we can’t understand.

People who have some sense never appreciate such things on the news channels. I’ve observed that its that typical category, who loves to watch dramatic version of news.

First of all Thanks to all for having gone through my article.

By the comments received I seem to understand that the discussion is taking a different route.

As in my article I would reteriate the point that after Breaking News for any incidence, there is a Media Trial.Any person who was there is deemed to be the culprit prima facae.

But after investigation if that person is proved to be innocent I feel it is the moral duty of the same media which sensationalised his alleged crime should broadcast his innocence also.

Also when there are two parties involved there is bound to be two opposite views why air only one view why not both.

Ant news on the electronic media is registered immediately by the viewer, keeping mum on non guilty issue is not

a fair deal
