Letter to Indian media
MEDIA IS A POWER, IF USED CAREFULLY. OTHERWISE IT
COULD ACT LIKE A WEAPON KILLING THOUSANDS OF
INNOCENT PEOPLE.
The way Nepal Disaster should
have been covered
 Might have focused on providing a real
news rather than manipulating it with other
exaggerating factors.
 If Indian reporters reaches the affected
area first, then at least they would have
carried first-aid material and some food
supplies.
The way Nepal Disaster should
have covered
 First and Foremost, the moral ethics of
journalism and what should be reported,
what not should be understood well, and
only trained Journalist who had previously
reported such like panic situation should
be sent for Reporting.
 Indian media should have also showed the
help from other nation on Nepal
earthquake.
