Everyday we end up reading something as NEWS and with mobile many topics are thrown over us in the name of notifications.
While reading NEWS today, I realized that how much the NEWS that we had a decade before than the NEWS that we see had changed.
"Doordharsan" was the only channel that there to watch when TELEVISION came to every home. Just like RADIO, Entertainment and NEWS were the only focus of the TELEVISION MEDIA. NEWS was not about ACTORS and Cinema. Nowadays, the first few topics in NEWS are mostly related to Cinema and Entertainment very rarely i could find the real NEWS.
Those old days, GOVEMENT elections, policies, regulations, disaster management were the topics that predominantly occupied NEWS. It was very much helpful for COMMON man to prepare oneself for any drought & famine. Even today the value of such information are very valuable. The velocity with which changes happening in and around us have changed, but there are few things which has not changed or going to be changing for another decade. For example Farming, Weather, Famine, Drought, Government elections, taxes, transport, petrol prize, gold prize are not going to change drastically. Industries, technologies, economics, trade and different kinds of entertainments are going to change slower or faster but they are going to affect us differently than prior said items.
It is better to stabilize oneself with NEWS which are slowly changing and have huge impact on daily life as given the example given above which are slowly changing or very important with not much drastic changes.
