Gone were the days when we used to wait for the Prime Time news bulletin. There used to be a handful of channels telecasting such bulletins.

The scenario has changed drastically in the past five years. There are plenty of them and that too running 24*7. Has the world become such a happening place? Do we really need such channels? Are they doing justice to news and journalism?

I keep ruminating over these questions whenever I switch on the TV ad tune to one such channel.

One very amazing concept; which I have never been able to understand is: “BREAKING NEWS.” I always thought Breaking News will be something for which a running news bulletin has to be stopped as the news is of utmost importance. For instance, a country goes to war with another or a very famous person died.
