Indian content in our news channels

whats up with these weird bollywood songs playing as background score during the news??

news channels heads and their workers need to go back to jounalism school and learn some ethics. this is certainly not quality journalism

how could you possibly talk about grave issues and then music playing behind, isn’t it really insensitive??, like during last year flood, they were playing songs??? it was one of the most disastrous period in the history of Pakistan. that was just totally unacceptable! … that just takes away the gravity of the grave issue. everything is made into a joke,these folks have made a mockery out of journalism, there is just no code of conduct and ethics!

we have enough entertainment already, we dont need these crazy bollywood songs playing behind as background score.
if this continues, we all will become desensitised to news, or perhaps we have already:(

Talat Hussain did a great show on Indian content in our news channels. Finally, someone is speaking out against this!
unfortunetly, I cant find the link to his show, as soon as ill find it, ill put it here

for those who dont know what i’m talking about, have a look at this,

It's very common now. And frankly speaking...I don't think they can now do without Bollywood tarrka :D

Re: Indian content in our news channels

they can, only if they want to, but they just want mirch masala in everything! I just dont understand the logic behind this nonsense.

what I dislike the most, when they talk about serious issues, music is playing in the background! like seriously?:mad:

abhii ham sab journalism meN bachche haiN...give them time to grow up! :)

Re: Indian content in our news channels

they are really immature, must they copy indian news channels?

I mean I understand, if its political comedy show, its fine, throw some music if you want. but not when one is talking about serious issues!

Re: Indian content in our news channels

True: Very annoying Indian accent and mannerism on Pakistani channels. They can’t even speak Urdu correctly.

Even the commercials have this Indian way of speaking Urdu where verbs and nouns are reversed.

Example: Aa Jaayega Maza Achaar Ka Aap Ko!

“Chief Justice Ne Day Diya Aaj, Faisla!”
:smack:

I think a lot has to with some of these channels having background staff from India especially when made from Dubai etc.

And Indian songs are just “icing” on cake. :no:

Glad someone is talking about this.

Re: Indian content in our news channels

Here you go.

A trip to the not-so-distant past.

Re: Indian content in our news channels

Sensantionalism is hallmark of hindi news channels, never knew this bimari crossed the border:D

Re: Indian content in our news channels

Very very annoying.

This one was funny though.

weird

Talat Hussain’s program on Indian content

Re: Indian content in our news channels

Pakistani media borders on retarded when it comes to Indian content. On the one hand, they play these indian songs as background music, run indian movies every other day, run indian shows, even dramas on their channels, yet when they are discussing something about india, they always refer to it as 'parosi mulk' or 'sarhad paar'. It seems as if just the word (name) "India" is banned....rest all is fair game. There is a channel that shows the famous dance show from India, 'Dance India Dance', and the title of the show has been digitally altered to 'Dance Is Dance'. Who are they fooling? Other than PTV, all channels show indian films, dramas and reality shows. Yet Pakistani channels are all banned in India.

Re: Indian content in our news channels

They have made news and news reports a joke by using these songs and cartoons

Re: Indian content in our news channels

I totally agree with you rangoli. this is stupid

Re: Indian content in our news channels

GOOD old times, this is how they should present news. :k:

Re: Indian content in our news channels

Ary and Geo are by far the worst channels. rest are kinda better(Like Dawnnews). Thank God, PTV has maintained their integrity, they didnt go for these cheap tactics to gather a large audience.
