Socially Generated Content - Paid Media

Oh. Today is Journalism day. Never knew despite being one. Always knew they had all the 365 days with them.
Paid media is a common norm among people who have no knowledge about the media. Who pays them who is being paid are all transparent to everyone but selective amnesia is a serious issue. Not a single expose has been carried out by party mouth pieces. Mainstream news streams are blamed by parties being hand in glove with other parties. Here is a useless conversation from Facebook :

Shivkumar Ganesan All this paid media should bury themselves. Violating the journalism code of conduct.

Binu Alex You mean the clear notion of Pioneer, Saamna, TV18, Niticentral. Yes I agree for the first time. And also to the perceived notion of some other media houses as well.

Shivkumar Ganesan Thank you Binu for agreeing with me for the first time I guess.

Binu Alex But it comes with a disclaimer: You should not read or share or believe in anything that the so called paid media gives to you. If media is paid, why are you reading those paid articles.

Shivkumar Ganesan I agree. But you tell me which newspapers which should I read. Media houses take one side of another. Readers like me have left with no option.

Binu Alex No. Wrong. All these months I have been trying to explain you this but you were awed by a single personality. To be objective, first thing is to remove this party politics and see the merit. And look at the merit on the basis of performance not percept...See More

Shivkumar Ganesan Please dont put the onus on me. Do you think is it possible for a common reader like me ?    6 January at 17:24 · Like
    
Binu Alex Onus is on you because you can understand and has exposure. For people with no such qualities, it is impossible, I agree

Shivkumar Ganesan Though Pioneer might have right leanings and vice versa for The Hindu. Media house keep changing their leanings now and again. I am told that firstpost.com is right leaning which from TV18 which is congress funded.
That makes reader like me confused.

Binu Alex Tv18 and first post are same group

Shivkumar Ganesan Correct. Why they are supporting opposing parties ?

Dhavan Desai Y not, ndtv, outlook , timesnow and all other mouthpieces as well.. u r being selective .. Binu Alex

Binu Alex Mukesh Ambani is the max stakeholder.

Binu Alex For records sake they are the sources with maximum exposes in the last 10 years.
Pioneer or Saamna did not expose a single scam of govt
Check your facts Dhavan Desai

Dhavan Desai Hahaha, selective manipulation at its best..
Binu Alex Just tell me where do get all the info? From the same mouthpieces
Dhavan Desai Ndtv is in losses, still running , am not sure who is paying for it..
Binu Alex Answering my query will solve it
Binu Alex That is not the answer
Dhavan Desai No, i watch them and am intelligent enough to read betn lines..
Binu Alex This is hypocrisy

NOW WITH NO CONTENT TO RESPOND, THE SUBJECT GETS CHANGED OR DIVERTED

Dhavan Desai Dekh yaar tu vapas senti ho gsya.. point samaj, war mat star kar..
Binu Alex You either don't watch them bcos they are mouthpieces or watch them and not make judgements
Shivkumar Ganesan Problem with you Binu you gets too emotional when I argue with you on paid media. Please defend for yourself dont defend for other paid media.

AND HERE COMES A THIRD PARTY

Binoy Samuel Journalism day ?? How come no body knows about this day ? Maybe Archies cards didn't get the information, otherwise they would have promoted it. So today Arnab Goswami might be at his grilling best as this day belongs to him as do all other days ! But today it is bound to be something different. Anyway, I overheard a person who was saying that he has arguments and heated discussion with his wife during the Arnab Goswami show as their quarreling voice gets subdued in Goswami's shouts of " Don't dodge the question". One more reason for TRP.
