Both persons burried on same day. One is with great personality and has set his all life for our country, the other was a terrorist who killed many innocents. But in recent days I have observed in media that there is more discussion on Yakub's death than the great person Dr. Kalam. Most of the news channels are covering Yakub's death incidence, when it was hanged, when its dead body reached his home, when he was burried and many more. While Dr. Kalam was not taken seriously by these news papers and channels.

YEAH ! I have also seen these and I think the media is doing all these because in today's world the negative thing is seen in eagerness but the positive and good think are seen by only few persons.

Media is interested in Creating Sensationalism. But in this respect both Yakub Memon and Dr. Kalam were given equal coverage.

You need not be sorry. You can express your opinion in the discussion forums, but clearly.

Media is a commercial enterprise. It is their perception aboit public responsethat matters. Everyone appreciates Kalam, Ex Presdient but there was nothing spicy about reporting his funeral and thoughts. So they gave more importance to Yakub which had more news value for media.

 Exactly sir. As you said Media chooses those events which are more " Spicy " as you put it aptly. But in this case Kalam too was given equal coverage. Some times there will be exceptions too. Even today news pertaining to Dr. Kalam are flowing in.

Yakoob had news value only for a day or so. Kalam is valuable in every respect for ever.

Like the man, news or any information about Dr. Kalam has that longevity.  Today I had seen a news item about Dr. Kalam's views on Ayurveda.
