the amount of research that writers put into their articles is pathetically low, and editorial oversight takes a back seat to sensational headlines that grad attention and ad revenue
another way to look at Indian news media is that it actually makes Fox News in the US looks "fair and balanced"
if you think sensational seeking news media is a problem in the United States and elsewhere in the world, I don't even know how to describe how bad things have become here in India which is a shame because it used to be much better here in India
On the other hand, you could compare CNN here and Indian news channels for the kludges and for relying on "public opinion and insights" rather than partaking in investigative journalism.
