The title says it all.. Yippee! I'm outta hell( best way to describe exams).. Well, whatt next in these holidays?as usual sleeping , hogging ,orkutting , chatting .. pretty much the same routine..
Eventually,thought of addin a post to my blog.
Lately,CNN-IBN has launched a new show on air called Citizen Journalist (C.J) where in we the people can publish our thoughts by sending videos,pictures.. about any injustice in the society,illegal activities taking place in college campuses,environmental problems etc.This initiative could be an eye-opener to the authorities who are misusing their power and at the same time an opportunity in looking forward to a whole new vision in the field of Journalism.
Flip side of the coin,does this concept of journalism rule out the fact that journalists who bring out the ground reality behind an incident are not upto the mark? well, the answer is a undisputed NO!The show has drawn the attention of the people within no time.The few episodes that I have seen were thought provoking, one of which was about this Educational Institution in Punjab called Lovely University where in two students were swindled by making them pay money n denying the seat which they opted for during the admission process and this lead to the student dropping out for 1 yr.. quite a few students were unhappy over the progess of the hostels in the campus as they didnt have adequate facilities and they were made to stay at some leased buildings outside the campus.
The other story was about this special child who was refused to board a flight and the parents of the child shot the whole scene on camera and produced it as a video to the channel. Thus, the fact of ill treating a child(a social crime) was brought into lime light.
Sensitive issues like the Nandigram voilence and the protests made by many writers,actors,artists n few influential people of West Bengal was also aired on the channel. Aparna Sen(a veteran director and famed artist both in bollywood n regional bengali movies)gave a report on the situation.Though I haven't watched many episodes,I can surely tell its an interesting way in promoting journalism in the country and enlighting people about the happenings in the society and making them realise that,WE THE CITIZENS should thrive towards making this world a better place to live in without creating any hassles to fellow human beings.
P.S:This post is just an outline and my way of analyzing the show, tho' this isn't an informative one...as I always feel "A well begun job is half way done":)
