I have no doubt in my mind that Indian bloggers are in much better shape than Indian journalists in shaping this nation. Most of Indian journalists are short sighted, jingoists and don’t see the larger picture in their reporting or in the topic they are reporting on. Indian journalists are trigger happy and often confuse their readers by mixing personal opinion and the news item in the same article. There are many many incidents where Indian media has grossly misled the nation on many important issues.
Indian media has not done a good job in researching the attacks on Indians in Australia before carrying several articles and have given racial color to each and every incident. Indian media has not done thorough job in recent IPL fiasco and have confused the Indian and Pakistani public by falsely reporting Governmental influence in final decision making. Indian media has done huge disservice by not carrying correct opinions/editorials on US India civil nuclear deal.
On one side i am very unhappy with the Indian journalism and on the other side, i am worried as to how this irresponsible lot of journalists can shape Indian minds going forward.
Hope we see better media both in print and electronic in future.
