In an article dated November 15, 2011, Media: Introspection & Paid News
Is media aware of what its audience thinks? Questions Sucheta Dalal!!!
A link to the above article can be seen from http://www.suchetadalal.com/?id=679a76a7-c73a-ac7a-4ec239843ba1&base=sections&f
When we read the article of Sucheta Dalal what we fail to understand is that, she herself being a part of the same media, she herself being a part of solicitations for her moneylife foundation in the name of financial literacy and smart saver, she herself being a part of solicitations for advertisements for her www.moneylife.in and she herself by being a part of sponsorations from Disha Consulting and ICICI Bank, How she can question her peer group media?
Is she not vindictive or one sided or NUTS to realize what she is doing to point out others?
In the recent past:-
The new chairman of the Press Council of India (PCI), Justice Markandey Katju, has raised issues about the low quality of the Indian media and its poor intellectual standards.
But what ought to worry the Indian media including Sucheta Dalal, greatly is the public reaction to the PCI chief’s comments.
Sucheta Dalal several times spoke about the private treaties (between media and corporate houses) and says that investors, lured into making wrong investment decisions.
Sucheta constantly spreads her ill-conceived notions and targets such treaties majorly done by leading media houses namely Bennett, Coleman and Co. Ltd (The Times Group), HT, Network 18 etc.,
Sucheta’s ill conceived notions are further buttressed by her premises that media owners and advertisers have failed to notice the viewer/reader’s revulsion. They have reacted to shrinking viewership by dumping down news, cutting costs on grass-roots reporting and investigation and substituting it with noisy and pointless debates.
Further to prove her point in the recent past she has been showing a Video in her Knowledge Center, Under the gaga of “Brokering News, a documentary produced by Umesh Aggarwal for the Public Service Broadcasting Trust, which she says that, the said Video further exposes how paid news has penetrated business, politics, entertainment and sports.
After reading the above, one needs to call Dalal Sucheta as NUTS as she thinks that news means writing something imaginary in the form of scam calling, defaming others without any substance, writing concocted stories.
What she also fails to understand is that by being a party to solicitations for funds for her Moneylife Foundation, Advertisements for her www.moneylife.in, and Sponsorations from Disha Consulting, ICICI Bank, Is she not doing the same thing and surviving purely on these funds with her front end forum Moneylife.
What’s the wrong that she questions the Press (of which she is part and parcel) by stating that Press has become a paid press? Was she or Is she not a part of the same press? Or She is an angel born out of Planet Venus, who arrived in the media arena for just spreading the scam calling or impose her views on others.
If somebody is not budging for her passion and doesn’t support, is it correct on her part to question them with her ill-conceived notions?
Or Is she playing games with the sentiments of people? to suit her underlying motives !!
