true. but majority of the newspaper readers do not engage themselves in debates
about 'real' or 'fake' or 'fiction' or 'objective.' for them news is just news
and in 99 percent of cases, they just believe what they read. renu.

similar thought i meant when i said the fake news will rescue the 'true' news
from being manifested as 'fiction' and will further authonticate them as 'real'
and 'objective'.
both go hand in hand. so, no need to worry about fake news as renu ramanath did.

could NEWS be 'real' and 'objective'?

Hey, did anyone in greenyouth notice the media scam that broke out on july 1 in
the national newspapers following a report on 'arrest of a former top Nazi
colonel in Goa'? it is quite intersting. the details are here, in these blogs
and sites - i first came to know of it from this blog Going Anon and Anon. The
press note that arrived in the major newspaper offices in India on last Monday
evenng had announced the capture of a former Nazi who was hiding in Goa. The
press note was from 'Perus Narkp,' 'the intelligence wing of the German
Chancellor's Core.' Some 24 hours after the story was splashed by Goan and the
national press, doubts began to circulate about the authencity of the news. It
was a fake news created by Pen Pricks, a group who works as a media watch-dog
mainly in Goa, as a test dose to the journalistic practice of the mainstream
mediahouses of India ! The next day, they came out with the truth, giving in
detail how they had 'created' the news and how the media lapped up it with
relish, without fail. While some of the newspapers have taken the item off the
web, it is still there for 'Deccan Herald,' 'Times of India,' 'The New Indian
Express,' 'The Indian Express.' 'Asian Age,' 'Telegraph,' (Calcatta), and
'Deccan Chronicle,' have taken the item off. 'The Hindu,' is not seen on the
list. May be, they 'missed' the story and the concerned editor may have raised
storm over the editorial meeting over 'the miss,' true to 'The Hindu,' fashion
! In this context, I remember a news story that appeared in Malayala Manorama
some time back. A NRI business man from Kerala, who had set up an animation
company (forgot the name), died due to cardiac arrest while flying from
Australia to USA. The Manorama story opened with a sentimental note, the rough
translation goes something like this - 'when the plane took off from the
airport, (the son's name), did not think his father, sitting in the next seat,
was slipping off to the final sleep...' The next day, alongwith the reports on
the funeral, there was a correction from the family that the son was not
accompanying the deceased man ! Flights of Fantasy from the editorial desk !!!
So, please pause for a second before lapping up our morning newspaper ! Renu.
