Refusal of Mika Brzezinski, a TV presenter on US news channel MSNBC, to read a bulletin about Paris Hilton’s release from jail is really pleased me. It’s a small step towards a great journey. A tabloid magazine or an entertainment channel devoted to celebrities life might take Hilton’s release in the lead but it doesn’t suit for a broadsheet mainstream medium because normally they are expected to present serious news in the lead space… mean prime time should meant for prime mind space. Life affirming positive news like those related to innovation and discoveries, sports, development and economic growth deserved precedence over this kind of news.
But day-by-day this habit has been sinuously taking over the whole media. In India the best and recent example is Abhiash marriage when media was totally get indulge itself to report this marriage. They were curious to know and telecast the every minute in detail. They featured the interview of toilet cleaner and sweeper that what’s their idea about this couple and wedding.
Please stop this frivolity. A news likely to impact peoples’ lives should get featured as a lead story.
