Appreciating Media and Police

Sticking to guidelines issued by the News Broadcasters Association (NBA) , all the private TV channels in the state stopped telecasting any footage of violence, agitations and self-immolation bids by the T-activists.
Even visuals depicting protests or celebrations were barred from being aired.
The Guidelines said that :
If any archival footage is shown, it should be labelled `file' and preferably, the date and time of the event should be stated.
There were only few live broadcasting vans near the OU campus , which was once occupied with more than 25 , the number that is more than secutiry vans.
Channels which tried to give live broadcasting were blacked out for sometime.
It is worth appreciating media for sticking to guidelines . It is clearly evident there is no unwanted hype to "damage things" one side and clearly
the impact of the report on the weak-hearted and emotionally triggered people is very less.
This also helped police to keep the situation under control.
Undue Media focus with a tendency to senalisation for TRPs thus leading to provocation stood as  the top reason for suicidal deaths for public issues.
The SKC report was   displayed and the discussions were hot  but there was no attempt to sensailization.
Still, it recorded as the one of the days with highest TRPs for all channels. Postive Approach also works folks.
There should be protests , there should be udyamams ( movements ) and people willingly should join it and acheive what they want. Let the right decision be taken by all the political parties together in consultation with cadre and the people . Let the people  at the top feel the heat and come to consensus.
