Sting Operation - The Big Question...???

In this stinking sting operation on Delhi school teacher Uma Khurana, the big question is who's logical here....??? Was public outrage logical,,was administration logical,,, was police logical ,,, was print media logical---as the news was front page headline the nxt day with torn cloths of the teacher--,,, the various news channels,,,and forget about the Live India- and the Journalist and the said aspiring reporter... Who amongst these was logical...???
Issue here is not about sting operartions,,, I myself said in earlier post, they are important tool to reveal scams. But this kinda sting operation... it seriously stinks.... as it was totally fake. Instigated by some to settle personal scores with the lady,,, done by some to hype their careers n allowed by channel without checking the validity of the content.
It was a serious lapse. Journalism also should have some ethical codes. How can you play with the life of some innocent person.....???? Think about the person victimised,,,, It ll have life long effects on her life.The present case was different from all earlier ones,,, thou media has always played hoax n irresponsibe,,, but not like this. Here the life of the targeted person will never be same again. The false allegations made against the lady are extremely malign, so denouncing, so vicious, n so imfamous...... it wud be almost impossible for her to regain the lost respect n dignity in her life. On one thought it can be said that "in some things there tend to be a silver lining after all....who knows now maybe this would deter others from doing similar misdemeanors! " But the cost is very high.

And as far as the quality Journalism is concerned,,,this one was captured by every reputed national daily. Barkha Dutt herself said in her article "A Tale in the Sting" that "We can no longer pretend that the recent conjured up operation in Delhi is an aberration we can afford to ignore. Before the government uses the exception to thrust its own set of motivated rules on us, let us in the industry admit that we need a code of conduct. We must be ready for the scrutiny we subject others to. Because when the reporter becomes the story, the news takes a backseat."

My biggest concern in this case is how can you target one's life so meanly. Have media lost all ethics....!!!

Sting OR Stink Operation...!!!

It was very unfortunate what happened with Delhi school teacher Uma Khurana. This time the sting has badly failed and raises the issuse of the Journalism's integrity n sincerety once again.
I agree that some of the sting operations have helped unveil some serious scams. If well used , they are invaluable tool for justice; but lately the mushrooming channels n journos have started using them just for the sake of publicity n shortly lived temptations. This cheap business raising TRPs with their Sansani kinda breaking news is very ingenuine and challenges the authenticity of journalism.
The biggest pitfall of this sting was that the girl who posed as the victim, was herself an aspiring reporter. If reporters ll start using such kinda cheap tactics to uplift their careers,,, what ll be the future of Journalism !!!
And our crazy mob,,, they take no time in reacting. They reached the school nxt morning, thrashed the teacher badly. The admistration also acted on impulse too irrationally, sacking her without any enquiry being conducted. No one even gave a chance to the poor lady to speak n explain n make her position clear. The channel CEO put all the blame on the reporters and saved his skin. The journos may get some punishment after trial of law. But will happen to the madam khurana. Thou out on bail today, would she ll ever be able to regain her lost respect? Will students ever look upon her with the same dignity? Would she be able to build up a clean n esteemed image in the minds of people again? Her reputation as a person and more as a teacher is severly damaged. Look at the horror she has developed after the infamous scandal,,,,,,, when said, "I would like to get back to teaching, but not to the same school.I ll never enter the premises there."
What else to say, the whole incidence was extremely disgraceful.
