CNN-IBN and H1NI

Our media are notorious for making mountains out of mole hills and I congratulate CNN-IBN for not lagging behind in creating scare in the minds of already panic stricken aam admi. Adding insult to injury, our health minister has stated that our teachers should find out from every student whether he/she is affected by swine flu.

Whenever I switch on the T.V, I find that the media are trying their level best to create panic about swine flu in the minds of the public and sustain this panic, God knows how long. The spread of swine flu is given the importance of a terrorist attack or the start of a storm.People should be given awareness about the the disease but creating panic is bad.

Panicking people will do anything to know more about the disease and will try out every damn soltuion to keep away from it. it is here that the role of media comes to play. It is solely their decision but today in some cases media has changed it role to leaving a bad note on people. They are doing ’whatever it takes’ for the ugly TRP’s to be in the rat race. But they forget that whosoever wins in the rat race, they will surely be rats only. Journalism needs to move forward with a difference.

Media is encashing with trend in TV viewing, Off Course they have made it Commericial so, so even Medical Experts who brief the Public to Visit the Doctors as soon as possible so it add to the additional income to the Doctors. Virus is present in the Air. which cant be checked , as it is not possible to check the Flow of Air. so it affect those who have low in Immunity, Not a single Medical expert tell the affectiveness of Hydrogen Per Oxide. which is cheap and not patented. Light solution is very affective for garglling and washing any wound.It is affective as most deadly disinfectant.with out any side affect. People may inhale spray as preventive device.

There are two aspects of this media coverage of swine flue. If it covers it excessively then people blame it for making mountains out of mole hills and if it doesn't then we people target media for not making the people aware. It's not very easy for media to keep a balanced approach.
