1/5. Shocked by Sushant Singh Rajput suicide coverage – compared with that of 330,000 farmer suicides since 1995? It’s about the money. Talk TV is a lucrative revenue model. Yak and gab costs a lot less than good journalism
#RheaChakraborty #mediatrial #media #SushantSinghRajput
2/5. Farm crisis coverage needs field investigation, travel, interviews; studying credit systems, input costs, eco-ruin, state policies. Takes money.
Talk TV needs low-cost, high decibel, lame-brained cacophony. Makes money.
#RheaChakraborty #mediatrial #media #SushantSinghRajput
3/5. The SSR suicide-Rhea arrest coverage is repulsive but it’s neither an aberration nor happening for the first time. Huge crises affecting ordinary people were also ignored during the Sheena Bora case, and earlier too
