No doubt that politics comes first, then it is films and cricket which seem to dominate the media attention. Shah Rukh Khan/s birthday celebration becomes national news whereas a poor farmer commiting suicide is relegated to the 5th or 6th page in small prints...It is the same with cricket and sports person.
Do they ( they print what we like and read )or rather do the reading public have their priorities right?

Mary you love to see films on news channels? I am sure you watch films on filmy channels. :) :)
Now a days films are not capture in media instead they capture the actor and actress in their camera.
I agree, anything and everything they do becomes newsworthy, however silly it may seem to the viewers ..They go into their homes and open their wardrobes and show the clothes,shoes, belts,cosmetics also chat about their love affairs - honestly , who cares?
People do watch when it is shown again and again and begin to think that modern living means when you watch the rich and famous peoples private lives .They have no better choice so they watch what is available and get used to it...
Ushaji you have very well pointed out the real facts. Media is good source of income. All newspaper and news channels have one main target i.e. TRP. They want business and no social work. Politics, Films and Cricket attracts people more. That's why news related to this is always on the front page.
I think every channel was busy with cricket news today. They have forgotten past failures and are back to singing songs about greatness of Indian cricket. Cricket is game of chance and money power.

Very true ! Money and power are two very important factors that dominate the society today.Media is no better, they too go after only the big names and news makers who bring in revenue ! more than 50% of the daily Newspapers are dedicated to ads, more so the weekend magazine sections ... :huh:
Cricket and Films are the Religions of India. They are enjoyed my the masses and the classes. So the Media is clever enough to make the most of it and cover these two topics the most.

Electronic media is as good as Print media and both of these are out to make money. You know if you calculate the value of a newspaper, that would be almost 5 times of its print price. The main revenue comes from advertisement and the circulation plays the major role. Same goes for electronic media TRP is the name of the game.
Now a days in news channel and in other channel we could only see about the films and cricket.To advertise the films the actress and the actor and even the director himself comes to the media and encourage people to watch new release of the film.Cricket also dominates a large place in media.

Media has to earn money too and money comes from people who have it. Films and cricket are full of money so you see nothing but films, cricket and politics.

There has always been a connection , but cricketers normally concentrated on their game and may be on a couple of occasions married a film star like in the case of Sharmila and Pataudi...But of late the tragedy is that Filmstars are taking over cricket and making it into a film set ...

In fact the glamour and money attracts the poor people of this country and whatever attracts crowd is the way for earning big for media. TPA is the name of the game.

Thats true and media is also more concerned with glamorising all issues ! We come to know all about star birthdays, since it becomes breaking news on that channel , flashing away each time you go to that channel, or if there has been any minor incident in a star or cricketers life , the entire nation becomes aware of it :dry: :huh: ;)

For them news having national interests no values but a model found drunk is a breaking news.
Actually most of the people in this world are much interested in films and cricket and next comes politics. So news people had alot of chance of making money through these subjects, especially film and cricket as people are more crazy about them
I have a question- while they have sports channels broadcasting every game live what is the need of news channels making so much hue and cry? News is alright but they simply do it live, ball by ball.
Now a days we won't find the news channel without the film and cricket.No other news are telecast on the TV.
Yes this is sad but they do it what people like this is our mistake that we don't take interest in social issue rather than entertainment I remember whenever something happens with a film star it is repeatedly shown on all TV news channels and people take interest in watching it. :evil:
