Re:Indian journalism - 2006/08/25 09:07
My experience with Indian journalists is that they are not quite good at English which we can call the international language. However, among the reporters and writers whose works I have been editing, it is the Indian writers/reporters who have displayed much of social consciousness. Especially with the photographs they submit, one can clearly see that they have a fight - against poverty, ignorance, lawlessness, complacency and the like.
While most writers would focus on other topics, Indian journalists seem to have a beyond-self orientation and talk about their society in a way enjoining the common tao to progress.
They try to project the changes that their society is undergoing. For example, their rise from poverty, their recent access to education and technology, the new roads going to places that make market and going to school feasible, the new role of the women, the citizens' role with police matters.
Indian journalists try to project the strength of their people that make their society secure like pronouncements of their leaders, the values of their women who put a price at caring for their young - close to them always, no matter what activity they do. But it is their pictures that speak most eloquently even with their captions. This much have I learned from them in comparison with other internationals in a website.
