Malayali Media Forum (MMF), Kuwait held an interactive session with visiting media personalities from India, G K Suresh Babu, Executive Editor, Amrita Television, and N Vijay Mohan, Middle East Bureau Chief, Dubai, Amrita Television, who were on a short visit to Kuwait. Visiting personalities shared some of their profound and vast experience in the field of journalism with the members of the MMF.
Mohan recalled his experiences as a journalist who covered the Gulf War 1 following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait that began on August 2, 1990. As an Indian journalist with remarkable experience in covering major events across the world, Mohan also brought to focus the gradual shift in media philosophy in India. He said during the 1980s and 90s, journalists used to exercise their duties with much more responsibility, objectivity and honesty. “Today, we can see a considerable amount of value erosion in Indian media with journalists compromising truthfulness for sensationalisation amid stiff competition and media war,” he pointed out .
Suresh Babu, recalling his experience, spoke about how media ethics is being compromised in India amid growing corporatization.
MMF members Thomas Mathew Kadavil, Sajeev K Peter, A M Hassan, Siddique Valiyakath, Girish Ottapalam, Vinod V Nair, Sunoj Nambiar, Anil Keloth Nambiar and Jalin Triprayar actively participated in the session. |
