Most of the news channels are behaving irresponsibly. In past few years number of news channels in the country has multiplied like rabbits. They should understand that with power of mass media, they have some responsibilities too. I still remember sometime back an augur made a prediction that he is going to die in the evening and for the whole day all news channels covered the story as ‘breaking news’. Obviously, nothing happened in the evening. Another such shameful episode was when somebody was committing suicide in front of all news channel, and instead of saving that man, channels were shooting for their story. In this race of winning over other competitor channels, they are forgetting the basic spirit of journalism. You are absolutely correct. Most of the news channels are behaving irresponsibly.
