Very personal

I am slightly worried about the abuse of a mother, who is ravaged by grief, justifiably into a temporary lapse of reason even, by the broadcast media of this country. I emphasise upon broadcast as visuals tend to have more impact on the common man and hold his attention. Print, though it does try to follow the trend set by the broadcast, tends to not have that much impact as text is still used there. However, as I am a print media professional and do not have first-hand experience of the technicalities involved that push an entire medium of expression into utter degradation, I am not in a position to judge broadcast. But as a viewer and a grateful receiver of the visual, I certainly do. And if a topic of conversation draws my interest, I must jump into it whole-heartedly with whatever means I have of communication.
"I am a human, and nothing of that which is human is alien to me." 
 There are a couple of things you can go ahead and report without having to worry about the ethics or standard of reportage -- politics and sensational stings -- because they are both, games people play. Objectivity is not an option in this case. However, when it comes to the judiciary or the justice system of a country, the medium must go through the ultimate test of objectivity to come out in the clear. Any other kind of reportage in the case of judiciary is at best plain silly and at worst dangerous.
Media does face the pressures of deadlines. It does not have the leisure of time to research about a subject and so it is important for it to have a source of research and understanding at its disposal, which it can dig into to produce stories that are precise and objective, effortlessly.
Alas, that is not to be. And I see no hope for the medium, who has lost his/her way and has been spending time in chasing the superficial.
If the oracles of the old were vanquished by forces greater than themselves, who are we to say we will survive the test of time?
