Media Watch - National Security



Just another media watch. Observe the headline of the two newspeprs:

Indian Express is talking of China objecting India on PM's visit to Arunachal Pradesh & India's response to it. This is an issue of National security & righly appears at the the top of the headlines.

Now watch where the same news appears in THE HINDU. Somewhere down. Honestly, it was not even in the bold initially. Later they made it to be bold. And it also seems to suggest that China is opposing PM's visit to Arunachal Pradesh as if it is China's territory. Where as it must suggest India is opposing China's claim on Arunachal Pradesh. Moreover, what appears on the top is the CPI(M) agenda. These seem to suggest one or more of the following:

1. THE HINDU is not concerned about the Natioanl Security as much as Indian Express.
2. THE HINDU is Pro-china and hence wants to suppress an anti-china news.
3. THE HINDU is Pro-CPI(M) and hence wants to highlight the party agenda ahead of National Security.


keep watching for more...
