We just want to follow one sensational angle or the other like a rabid dog. On both the online and print desks that I've known, the focus has shifted tremendously to putting an angle out there that can get people talking about it than calling a spade a spade or standing your ground. When you take a story with an international link to it (other than the dime-a-dozen Indo-Pak stories, which have like a zillion experts spouting their perspectives on it), there is zilch, nada..etc by means of perspective. Add to the combination so-called foreign correspondents like the much-celebrated Chiddu, who sit around 32 local papers with their morning cuppa and do a mash up with the wire copy, you can understand why we are going nowhere. Even the 'experts' who write lengthy middles and Opeds do their research much like fresh deskies who rewrite stories with the aid of wire copies and Google news.shyamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03569196753285929281noreply@blogger.com
