Hello all. Today's post is an interesting one. It is on me. LOL. Hope you find it as interesting as the previous posts. Its today's headlines on your favorite newspaper - On The Way With Analogs (wink)
Yes, today's breaking news charting up is The Gossip Tales......
Well what happened is, while having a conversation with my grandmother, we struck a chord at such a level that it made the impact. We were talking about various spheres of the society ranging from news, to truth, to debates, to spill of dirt, politics and many more
Whenever we move towards a society or national level efforts it always tend to take a negative turn.
While talking she gave such a wonderful statement she said-
In our times, gossips used to be truth and now truth also seems to be gossip...
And I was perplexed and shocked with the usuage and the meaning of word then and now, but somehow it got me convinced. She is over 80 and still active and full of wise and logical reasoning from her experiences about everything. Which is possible only when you have had your own active analytic bend of mind after knowing a subject well till the core of it. Meaning of gossip hopped smoothly from its origin as 'a person related to God' to 'close friend to idle talks'.
And special gossip editions are, when you see the BREAKING NEWS. Obviously, media share vital information and knowledge. But, it just looses the essence the way they project it. Its always pro and against.
My take on NEWS :News should be straight forward. Its ok to take one minute and prepare a non-biased simple information. Then they should put there analysis mentioning good as well as bad connotations. And, close the topic with updates. Let people use there own mind, analyse the given piece of information, talk about it, discuss it and then form a conclusion based upon their fine sense of judgement.
Some may feel, its good. You get to know various arguments regarding it. May be. But, one question that lingers in my mind is: why argument has to be negative? Some things are obvious, if Government did something good, what do you expect, to hear from members of oppositions. If some celebrity do something [ or to be precise - caught - in news language] how does it matter, the reporter should ask themselves first how much worthy are they !
Not every news has to be a point of discussion and scintillating and get dramatized. Can so much drama be present in one's life?
What's your take on the GOSSIP? You like it or just love it. How can we make it a healthy conversation while enjoying it as well. What's your impression on Breaking News? And if you are a journalist ! Lol. Don't sue me. ;p Hit your views in comments.
Anyways, it was just a food for thought
Have a good day my dear readers
