Thanks to the electronic media to give this Tejpal issue sufficient visibility that led to an imminent arrest of the culprit. But we all would agree that now the airtime given only to this issue is not doing justice to other more grievous crimes that is devoid of any airtime. There are more serious cases where culprits are not even identified. Rather than discussing what will be the future of Tehelka, requesting media to be little more responsible and avoid the herd mentality. Media persons camping at Tejpal's house, Goa airport, Shoma's house and other places hoping to get a glimpse or a story ahead of their competitors is sickening. Just imagine what would the victims or their families of other more serious cases would think when they watch the news on TV. I am not suggesting to drop this story, just requesting media to cover other stories as well with the same vigor and commitment to bring the same result as it happened in this case.
