Was telling a friend earlier today that practically, every news channel worth its salt was covering the Delhi serial blasts in detail.
But I felt that the news channels were fairly irresponsible in their reporting. I noticed that they were unnecessarily sensationalising small things and showing the same things over and over again with special effects. It wasn't crisp journalism at all. I thought that they were blowing up smaller news pieces so that they could increase their viewership ratings. On one occasion, they interviewed a little boy who is believed to have witnessed 2 of the accused. They kept showing his video and kept repeating that he would be able to identify the terrorrists. I thought that by making his identity so public, the boy's life was greatly at risk. I think that as responsible news channels, they shouldn't have done that. Aargh. (Controversial comments here - but couldn't resist!)
