Rabindranath
Tagore says:
"We rob the child of
his earth to teach him
Geography of Language,
To teach him Grammar
His hunger is for epic but he is supplied
with chronicles of facts and dates
He was born in a human world but banished into a world of living gramophones to live for
the
original sin of being born in ignorance"
"Education
without Experience & Exposure is Incomplete!"

September
18, 1851 - "We publish today the first issue of the New-York
Daily Times, and we intend to issue it every morning (Sundays
excepted) for an indefinite number of years to come." said the
founders Henry Jarvis Raymond and George Jones of NYTimes, this
day. Originally, intended to be published every morning except
sundays, today, its a newspaper with the term coined "All the
News That's fit to print"

Btw, the impact of the
change is Information Media and Internet is the age of Participation.
Readers are not passive recipients of news, but participate in the
process. You decide, which is the media? The TV channel or newspaper?
Or the SMS platform? Or the web, forums, blogs & social
networking!

Will Internet Overpower Print Media and TV?
- by ilaxi patel
The impact of the change is Information
Media and Internet is the age of Participation. Readers are not passive
recipients of news, but participate in the process. You decide, which is
the media? The TV channel or newspaper? Or the SMS platform? Or the web,
forums, blogs & social networking!
The print media is yet to make up its mind whether to compete or
cooperate with the new challenger - The Internet & the Blogs! Print
journalism players have a Web presence, that is mostly the result of a
domino effect rather than a carefully thought out strategy. Sadly, the
egoist attitude of the editorials always think their domains as 'own
territory' but unfortunately, no more on the web. Here rules the
righteousness. With Internet gaining popularity, the dynamics of
readership changes. The fundamental principles of captive audiences
changes. The Internet changed the way commerce and business functions.
There lies the real challenge for the media to compete. Many of them
remain content cum distribution centric activities with rising expenses,
no marketing gains except the political triggered liaisons!
A class Activity with above topic Debate can be held in the classroom.
Make it interesting by dividing the groups favoring Print/TV/Online
media - Later, kids can write a compo or make a journal/Poster on this
with various newspaper print media cuttings, TV news and online media
sites, etc.
