When it comes to gossips and rumors on print media, it has always been known as yellow journalism but then a new definition is coming for it. While the debate is on about that, here is an interesting story that can perhaps define it in a better way.
It is known that Jr NTR has been recuperating from a serious accident. So there was an article that came in the Surya paper which said that this was the result of a Kshudra pooja that took place at Thrissur in Kerala, which we already reported. The process is said to be called Kalabhairava Aghora Pooja but then all this was labeled as ‘Yellow Journalism’ by those who opposed the Surya article.
However, there are those who say that it is not yellow journalism, it is creative journalism. Something similar happened in the Sakshi issue when they came up with the videos of Chandrababu Naidu and his statements on KCR. So folks, it is no more ‘Yellow Journalism’, it is ‘Creative Journalism’.
A person from Surya News Daily said off the record, “It is time where people need some idea to think and discuss. Almost all news dailies are working on the same. Sakshi, Eenadu, Andhra Jyothy or Surya…the motive happening to be same. Although some news happens to be false, it is thought provoking element that is required. Hence we cannot call every fiction, as yellow journalism. It is creative journalism”.
