After all, it isn\u2019t\neveryday that the media is gifted with a military strike that they can spin,\nwhichever way they want to gain more eyeballs.

It wasn\u2019t far off the mark.\nThere was glee at the claim that Yusuf Azhar, the brother-in-law of&nbsp; Jaish-e-Muhammed head,&nbsp; Maulana Masood Azhar was finally neutralised.\nYusuf Azhar was the man who carried out the Kandhar hijack of IC-814. This was\nthe hijack that saw the Indian government release a number of terrorists\nincluding Masood Azhar, in return for saving lives on the plane. And, for those\nwho remember the hijack, the scenes of the families of those on the plane,\ncrying and threatening to give up their lives, if the Indian government did not\nrelease the terrorists, is still fresh in memory.&nbsp; These scenes were broadcast ad nauseum on tv\nchannels putting unbearable pressure on the Indian government to release\nterrorists. And, they did. Masood Azhar went on to plan the 26\/11 attacks.\nWhile it can be said that the Government should have held its nerve and not\nreleased the terrorists, the fact remains that the news media of that era,\nenabled this by bringing a new factor into the equation \u2013 the sight of grieving\nIndian families. It was great for ratings. Terrible for the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, that has been a playbook\nadopted multiple times when dealing with national security issues. We can all\nrecollect the minute by minute coverage of the 26\/11 attacks. A coverage so\npervasive that the Supreme Court of India, in the verdict against the lone terrorist\nwho survived Kasab, has an entire section on the Indian news media and its role\nin the carnage. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sci.gov.in\/pdf\/SupremeCourtReport\/2012_v8_pii.pdf\"><strong>The judgement states<\/strong><\/a> that the\nterrorists handlers were following the live coverage, to pass on information to\nthe terrorists holed up in the Taj and Oberoi, enabling them to do more damage.\n\u201cThe reckless coverage of the terrorist attack by the channels thus gave rise\nto a situation where on the one hand the terrorists were completely hidden from\nthe security forces and they had no means to know their exact position or even\nthe kind of firearms and explosives they possessed and on the other hand the\npositions of the security forces, their weapons and all their operational\nmovements were being watched by the collaborators across the border on TV\nscreens and being communicated to the terrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, while ratings are important\nfor a news business, and the news media has every right to turn the lens on the\nactions of the Government, corporates, political parties, and even influential\nindividuals in public interest, the question to be asked is whether this sort\nof high pitched coverage compromises Indian security? Whether it puts an unbearable\npressure on the Indian government of the day in terms of the options it has\nremaining? Does it put lives at risk?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite multiple violations of the\ncodes of journalism or ethics, there has been little done to rein in the news\nchannels. While they have complete freedom of expression, the question arises \u2013\nis compromising national security covered as a part of freedom of expression. A\nday after the attack, the channels are busy finding the most virulent,\nirrational people in the sub continent, trying to fan the flames of war.\nBecause war means ratings for the media. For all their claims of respecting the\narmed forces, the channels seem to demand blood sacrifice of the men and women\nin uniform, to assuage their own sense of patriotism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the core the question that needs\nto be asked is whether speculation is news. Whether opinion can be passed off\nas news. A great many benefits that accrue to the news media is because of its\ntraditional role in acting in public interest. However, kindling a war is\ndefinitely not in public interest, nor is raising emotions to a level that\npeople clamour for a war or a riot. The Government needs to revisit its\nregulation on news media, and see if in a world where there are 400+ news\nchannels and countless news websites- they need a more effective code of\nconduct. Else public interest is going to be damaged by a news media on war\nsteroids.&nbsp; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Balakot Strikes : This appeared on CNBC-TV18 In the wee hours of the morning, on the 26th of February, a dozen Mirage fighters dropped guided surface to air missiles on a terrorist camp in Balakot, Pakistani.
