Remember the moving pictures of the mom and her daughter who were caught in the lathi-charge at Faridabad stadium? All TV channels spearheaded by NDTV caught up with the incident. NDTV, like always, went a step ahead and interviewed the husband of the injured lady and another daughter who was also at that time caught in the lathi charge and asked all kinda stupid questions.
Today in Mumbai edition of HT, saw a small news clipping on the sports page. Apparently, Sharad Pawar - the BCCI boss has sent a letter to the mom & daughter, apologizing for the incidence and has told them that whenever they want to watch any match in India, they can come and watch it in The BCCI President's Enclosure as his guest. So strange, none of the TV channels talked about this gesture in ysdy's sports news. Atleast NDTV who sensationalised the new piece didn't. Another example of where the state of news reporting standars are going.
