No one in Pakistani TV channels has studied journalism. They do not know the first thing about it. The concept of Redundancy is an essential aspect. Redundancy is a mass communication term, those who do know what this term means, need not bother. But for those who do, yesterday was example of Redundancy gone amok. Every single channel was reporting the same thing throughout the day.
The air crash was a sad thing to happen, but it does not justify any sensible news organisation go on telecasting it. The weirdest part of it was that, none of them had any facts with them. They were stuck with the plane had crashed and an attempt to rescue any survivors was going on. What many people missed the point that why had so many people showed up at where the plane had crashed? None of these news organisations have the questions Five Ws and the Single H. Because do not know how to ask and what to ask and who to ask. They are incompetent in every aspect of the field of journalism. This is not journalism it only crass sensationalism.
No one should have been allowed get there, the airliner's fuel could have flared up again at any time. Most of them were a whole bunch of grave robbers including the media. The media was imagining it was minting hay whilst the sun shined (although it was raining).
The families of the people who died in the crash it is only natural that would have switched off TV and others who seen the report did not the inclination see any more. The people at the crash site were there to steal whatever they could find was along side the aircraft. From the suitcases all over the place. They were not there rescue anyone. If any one was alive he could easily have killed by those who were pretending be rescuers. It may be sad day, but the scavengers were waiting to snatch whatever valuable they get their hands on. Credit cards, cash, jewellery and other stuff. Newly married couple who were also killed in the crash must have had cameras and every on board obviously have watches and cell phones. Why should such things be reported? The reasons why such things should never be reported is, it automatically attacks even more graves robbers no genuine rescuers.
None of the TV channels ever bothered to consider this - which is blatant journalistic blunder of the first order. It is regular thing, people who may try to help people who are victims of any accident, are there only to rob the victims. Any news conscious and real journalist would have seen the entire story from another angle. People are not as honest and decent out as they are made to appear. They are there with ulterior intentions. TV news channels are bunch of IDIOTS! These are not news organisations they are merely sensationalists
