Do you see any difference in those two verses of a literature considered to be of high regard?
These above statements carry two different perspectives in it. One has a positive, motivating message being conveyed where as the later showcases the failure. The larger picture, to understand, is the ability to come up and try something new. The later statement has, undoubtedly, suppressed the immense talent and the ability of a young potential pilot, using his skills, avoided casualties.

| Ill fated Helicopter |
When some alien showcases the dark side, and the so called slums, of our country, it wins enormous accolades across the globe. Where in these honorable, self proclaimed journalists, just for the sake of making profits, strip the pride of our country in front of their own citizens.
Do these journalists realize they are, or they can be, catalysts in changing the mindset of people? When will they realize the importance of being mature enough to support in harmony rather than inculcating in needless criticism?
Hey Mak!!
ReplyDeleteI admire the way you present the article in blog.
It is always good to start a day with positive & motivating news rather than the same blame game news of politicians.
Media should give a thought on it as there are more influential.
Dee...
Thank you for admiring Dee... I am glad you liked it.
DeleteI agree with you when you say media is more influential. Thoughts alike.
Mak, Good observation. I didn't know about this incidence of helicopter safely landing on building terrace. Great job by the pilot.This reminded me of Captain Chesley B. Sullenberger who landed Air bus on hudson river and saved 155 lives.He was so well honored here.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your thoughts..it is sad that journalists are more aggressive in reporting negative news more than positive ones.
Thank you Usha. Captain Chesley did a heroic job in saving those many lives. Even in this case, reports pointed out to about saving certain lives. There were live electric wires, which the pilot, with his presence of mind, avoided.
DeleteWell pointed. There are always different ways of saying things. Criticism is easy and comes so naturally to us but what is admirable is to see the good side of things and then highlight it accordingly.
ReplyDeleteJournalists should behave more responsibly by reporting news in the right manner as that can really work wonders on the minds of so many who read their stuff the first thing in the morning.
Thanks a lot Arti. You are right in saying that criticism is easy and comes naturally. We are looking for people who can defy the nature to bring in positive changes.
Deleteone of the headlines is, infact, doing good about that.
Very well said Mak!
ReplyDeleteThank you Amit sir.
DeleteWell said Mak.. Journalists have the power to make or ruin any bodies life they wish to. So they must be conscious before publishing anything wrong or fake that can ruin someone to the core. Nicely written:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sonia. Well said.
DeleteWat a good point and a good example to quote it.. Mak rocks!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Echu
DeleteSo true, it is all in the perspective. The first one was definitely written by a cynic :)
ReplyDeleteYou are right Rads. It is all in the perspective. I thought the first one was more positive than the later. Are you referring to the second statement?
DeleteYou know, Bernard Shaw once described journalism as the profession of the illiterate. The profession shares something with gossip mongering. Very often, journalists go after the negative things with the passion of gossip mongers. The situation should change. There are very responsible journos too, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteThere is no doubt about the existence of good journos sir. Completely agree with you.
Deleteyou are right..we simply cant afford to rely on those illiterate journalists....serious newspapers and programs dont attract the sponsors..I guess the problem also lies in we the consumers...unless we boycott all those useless pieces of newspaper and demand and reward serious, genuine, knowledgeable journalists and newspapers, we wont get it !
ReplyDeleteExactly Nitin, we consumers are at blame. I wonder why do people buy newspapers which show photographs of scantily clad so called celebrities where as the newspapers are not meant for that. I see no difference between a newspaper (not all newspapers) and a porn magazine.
DeleteJournalism has changed over the years... its more about what sells and what doesn't... We the readers have to make informed judgement using our own discretion...
ReplyDeleteYes Vijay, you are right. It is left on our judgement. But it is indeed shameful that those kind of newspapers are still existing which means we have failed in judging the right thing.
DeleteThank you for stopping by. Welcome here , often.
agree with you - same thing said in the same language with almost the same words & yet the effect is in extremes!
ReplyDeletevery good observation by the way
You got it right Sujatha. The effect is alwats extremes.
DeleteThanks a lot :) i am glad you liked it.
I guess it started with a rejection at some point for useful and insightful information by a vast number of readers and then it almost became a trend to wrap every news in all the spicey tits-bits.
ReplyDeleteOnce i had done something in journalism and they taught us over there that provide information but make it catchy and appealing.So now the two titles are good enough but looking at the current obsession and Gen i find the negative influential title catches more eyes than the other.
Influencing with good is a task of past nowadays its just about making money.
(Something not regarding it but something i noticed and wished to share)At times i look at the international news where they talk about having found something through a research its a sheer wastage of money it seems to me to be researching about a vague and indifferent thing but people there find that progressing and useful.
A very nice topic indeed to be taken up.Only if all of them could differentiate with reasons and not taste.
I liked what you wrote.
Thanks a lot Alcina. I am very much glad you liked it.
DeleteYou have a very valid point here. You have got to the nerve of the disease which is rejection by the readers which has forced them to make things catchy and appealing as well.
But i still debate. Why can't they make these things on a positive note? They can if they want.
You know its just because of this non-serious attitude on their part that we don't take them seriously. I don't trust completely the news I read. You never know how things are presented to you...
ReplyDeleteAgree with you Saru. On the contrary, there are lot of journalists who consider their profession serious, but they are very few.
DeleteHi Mak,Very nicely written post :) Simple yet so thought provoking. Thanks for dropping by on my blog, I will surely come up wid a few posts :)
