If you are regular news viewer, then you already had
understood by above lines that what I am up to this time. And many of you also
feel the same but ignore all the facts. There are so many good news channels
which had brought revolution in electronic media with their efforts and
technology also had played great part in this growing industry. So competition
is also growing at rapid pace and every channel wants to run breaking &
exclusive news so that we get the news ASAP and they gain TRP. Some channels
are really good and their editor, journalist and analyst panel is also good (I am
not going to rate). But with increase in this competition and race of gaining
TRP somewhere they are losing their charm due to which quantity of news is
increasing and quality of news is diminishing (I will post another detailed
post on this topic later).
Whenever any incidence occurs, all news channels publishes
it as breaking news and then every channel calls the panel of analyst who can
share their thoughts on that news. This is the beginning of story which I want
to highlight in this post. Every day you can see debate airing live on many
channels where politicians are invited to share their thoughts and give answers
to the viewers. But if you watch those debates than you’ll regret watching them
and think of watching any laughter show instead. They never do justification to
the topic and debate never gets to the conclusion. Some time it becomes worst
than the fish market situation in the news room and everyone starts his own new
topic or start blame game on each other and divert us from main topic so that
we never get the conclusion and program ends due to restriction of time. I am
not blaming media for not getting to the conclusion but I must question the
system in which they conduct debate.
Normally they conducts debate episodes of 30 mins (1 hr in
some cases) with 3 or 4 panel members on average basis for representing their
party view on the incidence. In those 30 mins approximately 10 min are deducted
for advertisement slot which is also necessary for channels to play as they
earn their bread and butter from it. 20
mins are left with them to make a discussion on the given topic that will turn
to 5 mins avg for every panelist to present their view. Now I challenge any
one, if same 5 mins are provided to any college student he will present better
views than our politicians on the same topic and also give some conclusive
idea. So where is the real problem, in politicians or news channel? I think politicians attitude and media
channels ignorance toward their attitude is the main problem.
The main fact is that politicians (who ever whether ruling
party or opponent) play with media restriction as they know they have very
limited time to conduct the show, also they have to run promotional adds in
between. They already has that analysis in mind which I explained earlier and
they know very well that what they have to do if anything will not go in their favor
or if they are unanswerable. They just have to divert the topic for 5 min
(their avg discussion time) by starting blame game on each other which results
in media room becoming fish market and some time in this outburst they speak
some out of the planet facts. They don’t
even care they are answerable to us and we want to see the actions and vision
of politicians towards any incidence. When they can play with whole country
sentiments so playing with media is very small thing for them. By ignoring
these facts media somehow is also playing supportive role and damaging their
image in the race of TRP because politicians blame them for not giving the time
to speak and hide their face easily.
That is the reason why I blamed system of media channels
earlier. They have to change the way they conduct the debates otherwise in the
race of gaining TRP they will be lost somewhere in mob. There are many ways
they can improve the quality which depends on their creative team but I also
want to put my suggestion which if introduced will be helpful for the viewers
to get the conclusion and also benefit channels TRP by conducting healthy
debate. As I had given my calculation earlier so here I will take scenario one
where the show time is 30 mins.
As in this scenario the main discussion time is 20 min and
let us assume there are 4 panel members, so firstly divide 5 min for each. Now before conducting the discussion inform
every panelist that make sure not to divert the topic (for which channel have
to take an action if they want to save their image). Now divide that 5 min in 3
slots of 90 sec each (30 sec still left) which means every person will get 3
chances to speak. Now make sure no one else can speak in between of other
person turn. Now start the discussion with introduction of the topic where they
can present their or party’s views on the subject nothing other than that. In second
part they object on each other’s views and also answer the journalist question.
In third and last part they will answer the remaining questions arises during
the discussion (make sure it is related to subject) and also they can send
their party message to the viewers what action is expected from their side. Remaining
30 sec each is kept for the safe side as in practical approach it is not
possible to follow word to word but channel have to follow the timing. So this
30 sec each that means total of 2mins can be used by journalist to bring the
discussion on track if it seems to be going out of subject.
So I appeal to media channel to consider this thought or
bring any other change as per them to show the real face of politics otherwise
they will not suffer but you will suffer some day and will be lost in mob. I know
there are many good journalist and editors (I will not name any) who are very
impressive and easily conduct good discussion and they also feel pity when
discussion ends without conclusion. But the only problem is ignorance which
they do and citizens also do by not raising their voice. Politicians will do
their politics or (POLLUTE-TRICS) and will not stop playing with system unless
and until we ignite ourselves to bring change.
