COMPETITIVE QUICK FIX: We encountered this while we were reporting on the murder of Swati in Chennai. Just about everyone had a theory, a strategy, a story and ‘facts’. It’s at times like


these that I curse twitter – everyone is reporting without concern for the family, work of journalists, police and other authorities. As Swati’s family was performing traditional rituals,


journalists barged into the ceremony looking to interview the parents. There’s a reason people are angry with the media, but how fair is it to tarnish all with one brush just because twitter


affords an opportunity?
