Journalistic independence

A series of Op Ed article, the responses from the individuals who feel aggrieved through these exposes, have set me thinking as to what is the role of journalism in democracy. To start with, an opinion which is that of the journalist that some thing is wrong or some one has been doing some wrong on to someone, becomes the core basis or belief to construct a story. What if that opinion is wrong or is best on purported facts, which turned out to be untrue at a later date?

Does the journist pay a price? The journalist might have been a mere instrument, who has been manipulated by an interested party. Since we hold the journalist and/ or the papaer that brings the stories in high esteem, our opinion is also high jacked and we also become victims. 

What does one do in such circumstances? How does one punish the manipulator? And how do we sto these happening again?

It is time we raised these questions and debated answers to bring in more security to our democratic functioning. 

Disappointments that has to be turned to I great success - that must be the story of a successful executive.

At times, even the most experienced executive faces situations, which suddenly spin out of control and the opportunities, which just till then looked so plausible, turn to nothing. 

And when this happens at the hands of some ill behaved person and in temperate, person who starts talking  of something which he has no clue whatsoever but does so as if he is doing it day in day out, you are further peeved. You maintain the decorum in deference to the authority which is his because of his closeness to someone. This is a classic case where your failure turns to frustration and you do something rash. 

But a mature player, does take time off to think it through and converts the opportunity nevertheless. While one sets out to do it, he must prepare deliberately to avoid the coterie and if faced with must take it head on to close out.

I am setting out to do it and will share the entire story once it is successful. I for one have decided that there are situations which are not acceptable and I will correct it to have it my way.
