Thank God, I am not New Delhi journalist…….


Thank God, I am not New Delhi journalist…….


Please forgive me; I am not trying to defame any profession and person. Here I am also not portraying myself and political critic.

The most admired and fast developing city in Asia, city with touch of everything; politics, business, sports, media and all four seasons given to us by mother nature. But the most important part of modern economy and city is news and views expressed and publicized by any form of broadcast medium are turned annoying or not to mention bad word called unacceptable.

These days television journalist and their directors portray themselves as the most privileged and celebrated citizens of India those have the best knowledge and can say and show anything their or their so called political and business friends like to.
For example in New Delhi we don’t have proper hospitals and public schools, but news channels promote and advertise private schools where they say we have Oxford or Stanford qualified teachers.

 Where common middle and poor class will go. New Delhi where we have pay tax just to use roads and need to have own water purifiers and electricity generations.
Do we as writers and those address events and situations in any form to community need to go for real issues in simple format?


I don’t know why I write on issues that matters to me or my community I live? But I try to focus on all good and bad parts and events of the city which I love to live called New Delhi. Please don’t blame city, politicians and governments officials only we as citizens, journalist and writers need to address real issues. One thing more here we find that we raise issues at sensational level to get readership. Why television channels and news papers make reports those have only done to create sensationalism and blaming city administrations.

Why we show debates among different political parties and so called top qualified news editors portray themselves as judges?

I live down town of New Delhi, district called Dawarka which has 2 million people moved in just span of a decade and we don’t have hospital and here people talk about local policies makes money with land grabbing.
Oh my God? Hello, please make real life topics on priority….

Being judgmental, critical informative means good news reporter. Time has made sensational part of news made very important part of news reporting. Television news channels made gimmicks and irrational news like conman or fatal accident reports are more important than any reality reporting. News television channels need film reviews and stand up comedians to cover air time on particular day.

Managing one political news coming every hour with twist or words and with different anchors is name of the game.

Food and restaurants views are made by novice journalist or just being celebrity is called food reporting these days. Some news channels are promoting self proclaimed God man and ghost reports. Some English news journalist are making reports on Tiger conservation and economic slow down like they are true patriotism.

I am just putting my views as normal writer and citizen of this beautiful city named New Delhi.

English news channels journalist present themselves as so judgmental that they can make satire on anyone because they think their Oxford degree and vocabulary skills are better that any person.


I feel, today news channels and news paper are giving true and clear reporting and critical views. New Delhi, being so big city here we have everything from politics to art to big corporate to big sporting events. Here we are into the time of specialization.

It is not like that one can do reporting on all topics. It is funny to find one of the experienced political journalist making comments on food.

Top music writer or journalist becomes high paid editor of daily news paper. Hello knock, what is happening?

I like my city so much, that I seek support from news sellers to make it honest, clear and honest.
Today news channels are the mirror of any city, nation and its people.

Today making money is more important than loyalty to our job. In any civilized community, state or country, newspaper and television news channels play very important part.

As we are into 21st century where television and internet is the best method to distribute news and views with touch of a button.

Here question is are we getting real and true news and views?

New Delhi being capital of nation has the top rated new channels and new papers in the country. All together in whole India we have the largest number of news television channels in different languages in the world.

In any form of social community we need people to get governed by the people for the people. All these people those are not in the governing community which is always lesser in number than of people in community need to be get informed of movements of governing body and rules those made and followed by governing body.

Here, in New Delhi all governing body heads live and manage their offices to organize 120 corers of people in the largest democracy in the world.

I am not qualified or posses any professional degree and training as journalist, but I suppose and presume that presenting and reporting in words or visual true picture of any event  is primary job of any journalist. Are you getting this?
