What are Reporter Ethics and Its Impact On Unreported Stories ? Blood On My Hands by Kishalay Bhattacharjee

 Reporter Ethics and Its Impact On Unreported Stories

                                                           

Gurgaon: “The Coverage of Kashmir by the Indian media leaves much to be derived,” Kishalay Bhattacharjee, an author, and a journalist told on Thursday while a lecture at GD Goenka University. 

He as a person doesn’t believe in awards because according to him “In the period in which we receive an award that period may have an important story to cover, so the time I will waste in receiving the award would help me to cover an important story which is more important than an award”

Mr. Bhattacharjee’s foundation “Reach out” work for the people who are being discriminated on the basis of caste, sex or creed and the foundation also helps people with stereotypical views.

According to Mr. Bhattacharjee “Journalism is the first draft of history to a reporter should report from all sides of a story and should not take sides or report something unethical”.

Further, in his speech, he told that many stories are not being reported on a daily basis.

He further emphasized on avoiding the practice of CCP (Cut, Copy, Paste), he said that we all are independent pillars of democracy so we shouldn’t use the CCP and should report everything and not hide anything.

As per Mr. Bhattacharjee 1980-2001 was the darkest period in the history of Assam in which there was a Genocide of about thousands of people. He quoted this in order to give the example of bad conflict reporting. He also said that “we are not trained in the field of conflict reporting.”

He shared one more unreported incident of 19th November 1962  when the Indian Forces were sending the 1000s of innocent people to the torturing camps established in Rajasthan for many years without any reason.

Mr. Kishalay criticized today's media by saying that only the news of violence is coming from Kashmir whereas there are many stories that should be known to the people but these stories are being hidden.

Kishalay Bhattacharjee recently wrote a book called Blood On My Hands-Confessions Of Staged Encounters -He says this book analyses the hidden policy of extrajudicial killings and how it threatens India’s democracy. (You Can Buy Here)

During his talk about the book he told about the Judicial killings and the role

of mafia.“These killings are controlled by a defined parliament act” he says.

He being an author and  a journalist,the best thing that he likes the most is Television and Writing.According to him he didn’t like to be a reporter because he defines a reporter’s life to be boring and harsh. 

THIS TEACHER IMPROVED EVERYT TINY THING IN ME & HERE'S HOW IT HAPPENED?

Changing The Definition of Teaching 

Passion about Music: Has Changed One’s Life

TEACHERS BE LIKE HIM

“We need the practice to rise up and should keep exploring new things and should never stop learning,” said Mr. Nischal Lama, a guitarist cum vocalist in Kavya Band and a western music teacher at Sachdeva Global School, Dwarka.

“Music is the only thing, which transforms one’s perception and way of living. Said during his talk. Music is the best way to socialize among people. ”He further added to his talk.

 According to me if some teacher is taking money from students then he or she should give proper knowledge to them but nowadays it's not happening this way.

He criticizes today’s musical knowledge to be in dark as the misuse of the profession has to lead to untrained students and for which teachers are responsible as they disseminate incorrect knowledge to students and also keep time and money constraint while teaching.

During his talk, he also emphasized that the teachers should teach their students keeping in mind that he is teaching to his relatives and should not keep the time and money constraint.

Awesome Quote

Mr. Nischal angrily told, “The taste of Music nowadays has been changed from acoustics to meaningless EDMs, acoustics make music soulful and also gives relaxation to the listener, but unfortunately, nowadays acoustics is being removed from the mainstream culture”.

“I hope that the acoustics will replace the meaningless EDMs very soon.”

Mr. Nischal doesn’t believe in the theory of a favorite student, according to him every student is favorite it is just the behavior which differentiates a student from others and not his or her performance.

IF TEACHERS LIKE HIM Continue to GROW Then Definitely Our Posterity will be in safer hands 

Change :A New Perspective

 People With Menial Jobs Having Great Thinking

A security guard is a person who brings a smile on our faces. Amit Kumar Pandey is a person who is from Siwan district, Bihar. He aimed to be a doctor in life but the crisis in the family made him helpless and had diverted him from his goal but he resiliently worked hard to earn a living. He is a security guard of the Shree Radha Apartment located in Dwarka Sector 9.

Excerpts from his interview with Shivam Bajaj:

Shivam Bajaj -What is the best thing you like while you are on duty?

Amit Kumar Pandey -While I am on my duty I like to greet people who visit society and also like to socialize with people.

I like kids and often pass time playing with them. According to me “We should try and enjoy everything we are doing.”

SB-You are educated till which standard and what made you leave the education in between?

AP-I am educated till class 8th and as soon as I passed my 8th grade a natural calamity affected the area in which I live. This made me lose everything I had lost everything including money, education and a roof. After the calamity, I somehow moved to Delhi and struggled to find a job and got my first job with a Yamaha parts dealer.  

SB -When you were a child what was your goal to be in life?

AP-As a child I always wanted to become a chemist as my ancestral business was of a chemist and even my parents entered the business. It was the calamity, which made us lose everything we had. As far as I know “Even if someone goes through really bad phases of life he or she should never give up and keep trying at least to earn a living and also live life to the fullest”

SB-Do You feel satisfied with your life? And will you like to study more if you were given a chance or you are happy with what you are at present?

AP-I am happy with my life but I am not satisfied because according to me “When a person says he is satisfied with his life, his mind not only gets limited to fewer options but also can never broaden up his thought process.

Even if a person gets a good job and is successful in earning a good amount of money he/she should keep trying more and more.

Yes, I will study if i would get a chance. I have 8 brothers and sisters in the family and each one of them is earning but less so I want to study more so i can just not earn a good amount of money but also to be a very good human being and one should always be studying as it is very important. 

SB-What according to you is the duty of a guard?

AP-What i feel is that my duty being a security guard is to prevent the conflicts in the society, distribute the letters, prevent any wrong person entering the society, helping people in finding their lost objects etc. or helping the people in whichever way possible.

I being a guard enjoy doing my duty and perform it sincerely.

SB-Tell me something that have learned from life?

AP- I have learned that never trust a wrong person in life and never be disrespectful to ladies and always accept what life gives you and be happy. “Never cheat a person

and be happy and honest is my motto of life.”

What i feel is that every experience in life gives us a teaching.

  After Conducting an Interview with him i understood his perspective of life & I salute him and i hope more and more people will develop the same positive perspective of life and bring a change in the society.
