Poor journalism or brilliant journalism is a very subjective and personal
view of the reader/listener/viewer. That is precisely why we have personal
choices when we watch channels, read newspapers and tune into radio
channels. We cannot dictate to a media person as to how he or she approaches

Glad and grateful that such a discussion has finally been initiated on

How others view, and portray us is largely our own responsibility to

Agree with you George Sir, but if any media person tries to take a
wrong approach in the interview, shouldn't we tell him this there
itself?
Since Ashish did not have a problem, therefore we need to respect this
interview. And its not poor journalism at all in my opinion.
There are many approaches
Again, its a completely useless discussion.
Ashish was interviewed, and since he doesn't have any problem with it,
it is useless to suggest otherwise.
When anybody amongst you gets interviewed, then you can of course tell
the anchor how to ask and what to ask.

Media persons and society have very low expectation from persons with
disability. They consider it awesome when someone with disability lives a
normal life . They think it is incredible. While it is important to showcase
stories of so called achievers, it is also critical to focus on inputs that

Yes, I had observed earlier that he used to do extensive research before
interviewing popular people.
Which means he didn't do his homework before interviewing Ashish. This
instance shows how much importance he accorded to the topic of disability.

I agree - it was clear that Arnab had done no preparation for the interview or
made the slightest attempt to figure how they function. Not a single question
was based on specifics. It was clear that the sole purpose of the interview was
to drive home the point that this is so inspiring.

At the age of 10 months, he suffered an attack of meningitis and became
blind. Yet, today George Abraham is a living example of someone who has
made a successful and complete life for himself and is helping other blind
people to do the same.

If the media wants to confer celebrity status on the disabled , they ought
to at least prepare specific questions. Parroting the same thread for all
disabled persons is pointless and baseless .

Hi all,
I concur with the thought on this thread. Well heartiest congratulations to
Ashish o n his accomplishments! But the interview was patronising rather than
inspiring. The least news anchors can do if at all they want to make some
sense of the interview is to ask about the challenge
Avichal, in addition to the brilliant points that Alok and Dinesh have made, I
also think that it is worth remembering that this interview is in many ways
emblematic of the way mainstream media views the disabled. So the interview
cannot be viewed in isolation. Further, how often do mainstream a
You are right that we should not tell Ashish how he should represent his
situation.
But we can certainly discuss among ourselves how we want to be represented and
whether we could do anything to change that. Anyone of us who have any
experience regarding media, know that often we do not have mu
This is not at all about Ashish or his opinion. This is about how the main
person running a national channel presents about a subject and how that
presentation could be made better or more useful to others with disability or
make society more aware in general and how more such examples can fin
Well, I completely disagree with this.
If Ashish doesn't find anything wrong in the way his interview was
conducted, then who are we to impose our viewpoint on him?
Its high time that we stop poking our noses unnecessarily in every affair.

This discussion reminds me of the late Stella Young who put is so
bluntly that disabled people are presented as 'inspiration porn' by
the media. In India our Prime Minister himself is hellbent in

as for Ashish sending it, we could write to him ourselves in case
