: Shuddering the Hinduized News Media-PartI 15Aug08 By Saint What is happening in the Digital world? Ever since internet and IT became part of our lives, there is a tremendous trans formation of our communication system, communication media, interpersonal commun ications and also in the press and TV media. This is a great challenge for the t raditional media, so they have all facing this challenges some of them make it, and others are loosing the battle in this changing times?. But, for the right thinking individuals and groups, this changing times are a su perb opportunity to grab and boot the conventional news, as the consequence is t he emergence of digital media which sends a shrill into the spine of shivering Tr aditional Media. This is true as far as Indian national news media groups, certainly true in the international media networks too. It is the modern bloggers and internet news si tes that are making progress steadily, ask New York times or other such giant ne ws mogul how much revenue they are loosing from advertisement and subscriptions, you will know the truth. Ironic, is int. This is happening at the price of these news media ignoring what people need and what this society needs in terms of ne ws on a day to day basis. The traditional Indian news groups like Hindu, Indian Express and Times of India and the likes are fully staffed by hindu and chauvinistic, casteistic people wh o cannot think out of their little Frogs Well to say so!?. First of all they have t his eternal bias and bigoted heads, but the other issue is the Fear of loosing ev erything they accumulated and squandered by betraying the society and poor peopl e?. If dalits move into the media, and if they become media moguls in India, whi ch will be the disastrous end to all those who are running the news group. There will be hardly any non hindus (the Shudras, Bcs and Sc, Sts) will not buy the t raditional media), which brings only 15% of the population to care about the tra ditional media, the rest of 85% the real non-hindus will go for the insightful d alit media. Dalit Media, oh yea?, what is dalit media anyways?. I am quite sure there is lot of Indians including some dalits asking this question or pondering over whateve r is Dalit Media is all about?. Some of the Blogs and website that are challenging the traditional news papers a re listed, these to the most part are run by dalits, except few but the few of t hem are genuine writers who seek attention to dalit issues (blogs such as: Ultra violet). Some of the Key blogs and sites are listed below, they range from Dali ts writers blog to others who honestly see this casteism and its pathological eff ect of Indian society, needs utmost importance to change India.
