@ Laltu
Bhabis na Laltu, Indian journalism, first television ar tarpor print, will soon be officially declared synonymous to prostitution. I'm sorry for being so impolite and savage in a public forum but it comes from deep despair. I have given 10 long years to this profession, which is one-third of my life so far, and today I see it's all rubbish. General paper chalay political parties ar business paper chalay corporates. Amader deshe na achhe yellow journalism na achhe extrenuous journalism. It's always a plataeu — write for the shine, where the money is. Make the reader feel good. September-e Venezuelar ekta kagoj, El Nacional, ekta scoop kore collapsed healthcare system niye. Kichhu chhobi chhapa hoyechhilo sarkari hospital-e morgue-er. Sekhane bodies were piled up and left to rot. Government ekta circular issue kore erom chhobi chhapar against-e. Next day, kagojta Page 1 blank rakhe. Ekta full-page picture box-e lekha chhilo: "Censurred". Amader deshe shala chinta holo kibhabe page one ta beche 2 koti taka revenue ana jay. Kodin age amari kagoj likhechhilo: "With Mamata certain to come to power in 2011..." Basic ethics of journalism etake bole "crime". Tobe ei argument-er anyo ekta diko achhe. Lok koto ar porbe deaths, losses, ends ei sob? Kintu tar ekta uttoro achhe — news mix. Anek bochhor lage shikhte kibhabe ekta page ke plan kora jay with the best news mix. Kintu sesob keu bhabe na ar. Ethics, principles, feelings, camaraderie — aj ar kono kichhuri kono dam nei re.
