NDTV India sent out a male reporter with a rose.īut India TV….what was India TV doing? 12.15 pm on V Day,and India TV had chosen Sanjay Dutt’s political future over lovers. Zee News got college students in Bangalore to sing for love.

It also broke the story of a couple for whom tenderness means telepathy — he got her a rose,wow,she got him roses,he got her a box of chocolates,incredible,she got one for him,ditto with wine. Aaj Tak asked a daughter to ask her mom and dad what love really means. Star News interviewed couples,asking them to share what’s precious between them with us. But when news doesn’t come to Hindi TV news,Hindi TV goes out and makes news. For B Day,mostly English news channels,for V Day,mostly Hindi.ġ1.45 am on V Day,and Hindi TV news still didn’t have a Muthalik-style hungama to report. I had made a clear decision on my consumption pattern.

You can’t get a more obvious example than TV news on Valentine’s Day. These small exhibits tell us so much more about this rich medium than large,somewhat obvious examples. I will only observe that CNN-IBN calling AR Rahman the ‘Mozart of Madras’ shows us why TV news has its own distinctive character. The optimal amount for all kinds of comments on Oscars for Slumdog has already been exceeded. Why not get a government economic administrator and ask him or her explain the timing behind the third stimulus? Mind you,the day before the third stimulus was announced was O Day. Half the time spent on explaining Pranab Mukherjee’s cement duty cuts could have been devoted to a quick interrogation of the official logic. Post-interim budget,government officials had loftily explained to the media that there were enough stimuli already,via the earlier packages and the fiscal deficit.Įven NDTV Profit and CNBC were reticent on the issue. Nor,from what I saw on NDTV and CNN-IBN at least,was there any political analysis of the government seemingly changing its position in a week’s time.

Strangely,or perhaps not strangely at all,when the government did do something this week,news channels didn’t exhibit the opposite and equal reaction.
