Indian journalism is in an ailing state. This statement should not be taken in any way as a diparaging one, rather it is an exigency to brood over such statements and not act like our politicians who seem to be so sensitive that they get hurt by almost anything and try to trap the people by their uselessly flowery language, packed with jargon.
Indian journalism is suffering from the paucity of thoughts, wisdom and most of all, vision! It has to come out of its delerium in order to delineate the real sensible and sensitive picture, which just gets lost in the process of vying for controversial news items. In this virulent process and intention, everything becomes and remains just another story. Every issue gets reduced to just a story as any other soap opera story. Every issue, every misahp, every tragedy is seen, heard and forgotten, not even as a drea, because dreams are still pursued, but these issues are never pursued, atleast never with a wholehearted intension to trigger off some necessary changes, which is very much needed.

India seems to be producing simply mechanical reporting machines instead of journalists in the true sense of the word. Journalism has become just another job. It seems who cannot do anything can become a lawyer or a journalist. Media houses and news channels have just become irresponsible profit making business houses.
This is the reason why journalism in India is losing its worth and is being kicked around by any tom, dick and harry.
Right now it is in a very shameful state, indeed!!
