We need Positive journalism!!

Indians are influenced a lot by the media, either electronic or print. They tend to make their view point & perceptions based on it. So undoubtedly the media men should act & work responsibly. But sadly whole of the media wagon works & thrives on negative & sensational news. You see the headlines of dailies or the breaking news on 24*7 channels, all you'll witness is news like 50 students made to stand in sun, bribe in DTO office, lady burnt by in-laws & lathi charge on protesters. On 26 th jan, our republic day, special inspiring & good programs were expected but all we got were documentaries on 'why we celebrating?', 'what to celebrate for?' & 'india celebrating & bharat reeling'. What impression will this leave on foreigners, budding students & professionals? What will a poor man think now? That I'll remain the same only? Why don't we accept the fact that we are atlast rising & rising fast. Media should encourage positive journalism & help in bringing a feel good factor in people or the shoulders will keep dropping even before carrying the load.
