The number of news channels that are on air today, have gone up considerably. Hence, the need for them to come up with sensational news, that will increase viewership and improve their standing among the hundreds of news channels.
Unfortunately, some of these channels do not follow ethics when it come to reporting. More often, the negative aspects of news, are what gets more exposure on these channels. News of disasters, protests etc. are magnified and distorted to make them appear sensational. The truth is often masked, behind this kind of reporting. Once the initial ‘sensationalism’ has died down, there is no proper follow-up to report on the conclusion of the news matter.
Media is duty-bound to report ethically, without bias and to follow-up such news, till its very end.
