In a recent media quagmire vis-à-vis banning of a morning TV show host, on account of her infringement on the privacy of people, was a step which received maximum response from all and sundry. However, the scary part which most of the people missed was “the presence of paid actors doing this fiasco’’.
Is there any rule in electronic media/print media on what to do or what not to do other than self-preservation? Irrespective of the social service someone wants to do, there has to be some well defined red lines, do’s and don’ts, which should be followed/enforced in true letter and spirit, by all, specially the owners and CEOs, of the media houses.
