Mumbai terror attack is all over the media, and it’s quite a shame to see how Indian media is going overboard in detailing out the events minute-by-minute.
First of all, lets try to understand the basic intention behind all these attacks - it’s not just to kill few 100 people, but the bigger intent is to spread panic. Bring the country to halt.
And what is Indian media doing? Covering live show of the terrorist attack (as if it’s a rock show?)? Calling the attack asIndia’s 9/11? In short, ensuring that they complete the rest of the task left by terrorists? i.e. spread panic all over the country, so that businesses and regular life suffers all over the country and is just not limited to Mumbai - exactly what the terrorists ordered for.
The competition right now is to capture the event as closely as possible, interview hostages (ask them what did they go through? CRAZY !! ) without caring about the sentiments of what they have gone through.
Is there a code of conduct for media during such events? If not, we need one.
