Police and CRPF are always alert about Naxalities in the tribal area.

Fair comments, but the media’s audience is not only the government. I would say that the Indian public has a legitimate interest in violent attacks carried out against people of Indian origin even if they are not citizens of India (though I agree reporters need to make clearer what they mean by “Indians”).

Pranav D, I don’t know if I have the answers to your big questions, because I actually think that we have hit a point where we need to (re)familiarise ourselves with the basics of good journalism.

But certainly the industry can devise schemes to seek out people who are passionate about journalism. It needs to train them well in all aspects of the craft before encouraging them to specialise. This is happening already in some parts of the industry but it’s obvious that there are gaps.

Skills that you speak of, such as reasoning, analysis and balance, are not acquired overnight. They need time, resources, hard work and patience.

Very well said Mr. Sarkar. I am the Press & Media Secretary of United Kingdom Telugu Association (UKTA) who rushed to the hospital upon hearing the stabbing news of Mr Reddy. While I have repeatedly warned the media not to cook up stories, the fact that there was a lady among the 11 arrested became another loose end for the love triangle conclusion. We sincerely appeal to all media representatives to approach a reliable source such as Minister for Press & Information of High Commission of India or an association like us who are willing to help Indians in distress instead of probing the case from different angles and trying to tread on the Police’s toes!

As a matter of fact, a constant watch on what and how is being reported in the print and elctronic media is very much needed. Inefficiency, callousness and negligence have become norm rather than exception with Indian journalism.
