Kudos to TimesNow!!!

We have seen mindless journalism for quite a while till TimesNow Channel came and started the, what I call, the intelligent journalism in India. They have sensitized the News channels in India.

I made this observation first time, when they were covering a hostage situation at Chinore, Jammu. All the other news channels covered the event casually, going on and off for the commercial breaks but it was only Times Now, which kept covering the event uninterrupted, without any commercial break. This clearly indicates, the focus of the channel is not just earning money, but they are actually into serious journalism. Well, I don't say that by going on commercial breaks, the other channels become bad, but yes, it shows how insensitive are they to the event and the people associated with the mishap. And, also this channel does not indulge in dramatizing serious events and showing their version of the event. All they talk and show, is the truth. They don't indulge in stupid predictions and drama like many other News Channels in the business...

And when terror struck Mumbai, Times Now took the lead and yes, this time, the other channels followed it, by covering the event seriously. Well, most of the channels...

Keep it up, Times Now!!!

You guys are leading by example!!!
