In the race of hits, media and reporting has become a joke. Leave aside small web portals, even major media houses have stooped low to the game and have made themselves a reason of embarrassment.
The situation is so nasty that these so called big media houses don’t put a thought even while reporting a news regarding someone’s death.
None other than Aaj Tak recently used the picture of famous Bollywood singer Monali Thakur while reporting the suicide news of Jagga Jasoos actress Bidisha Bezbaruah.
When Monali noticed the blunder, she brought the case in front of her Twitter followers and questioned Aaj Tak about such a terrible mistake.
What do you have to say about this @aajtak ..? Indeed would like to know that! #shameful #irresponsible pic.twitter.com/iG3G5EVV7v

Make them pay for it. The only language the TRP hungry irresponsible media will understand.

Acts like these truly deserve all the criticism, but the question is will they make the right changes in their working style in future? They must do it because be it journalism or any profession, one must always be a bit sensitive about things.
