What should all the Indian news channels stop doing?
In my latest post, I've discussed the concerning practices that Indian news channels need to stop. The incessant sensationalism and dramatization of news, often at the cost of factual reporting, is a trend that needs to be curtailed. The over-dependence on TRP ratings often leads to a race for sensational news, sidelining the importance of real issues. Furthermore, news channels need to realize their responsibility in maintaining communal harmony, and refrain from spreading hate speech and communal bias. Lastly, they need to reduce excessive advertisements, which often hamper the continuity and comprehensibility of news.
