Social Media As Watchdog
Social Media As Watchdog is a compilation by Ravinar of MediaCrooks.Com. The book explains the arrival of Social Media as a watchdog over MSM and how there is no monopoly on national discourse anymore. The book contains a compilation of 50 of the best posts from the MC blog covered under 9 chapters which offer a background to the posts. The book shows how willful deceptions by the MSM are being rectified by Social Media. The collection also shares a limited list of a dozen books and movies that Ravinar uses for stories on his blog. Also included in the book is Ravinar’s list of a dozen other great blogs and websites which best analyse and offer commentary on the MSM and current affairs. He also shares five unique writing and branding tactics employed by him on his blog for the benefit of readers and budding writers. Prof. R. Vaidyanathan of IIM Bangalore has written the foreword for the book. He is a finance & economy expert and a keen observer of media himself.

FISH MARKET DEBATES
This is one of the most original books, in recent times, written by an Indian, in English, with inputs, to understand the English TV Channels 24X7 ones, and the debates they conduct; this book espouses the cause of fairness and objectivity in broadcasting standards carried out to full length. A cursory reading will equip the viewers, (who are not familiar) to understand the “Games the Media” play in especially their programmes like “ Face The Nation”, “Buck Stops Here”, etc. The arrival of this book has done half the job; the rest lies with the spectator, to and develop critical faculties to question the credibility of fish market debates.
WHO IS THE TARGET READER?
Have you regardless of your age, gender, education, religion, language, at any time felt angry, after seeing a Television debate? If so this book is for you. If you are a senior Citizen and feel that the standards of Press and TV have fallen this book is for you. If you are an avid TV watcher, and try to compare foreign with the scenes of Times Now TV, this book is for you. If are MBA student and advised by your professors to watch TV debates on NDTV 24X 7, (as was advised to one my friend’s daughter, who is in MBA in Sastra College) you please procure, a copy of the book, and present it to the professor who advised you to watch the programme.
SPONSORS BEWARE
Many professors, have no clue, how to dissect a TV debate and dissect a rapidly developing TV debate. Sometimes the panelists are simultaneously seen on two or three different channels. How is it physically possible? Are these big wigs are capable of teleportation? The competing channels do not have even this basic decency to inform the viewers that the programme was “Recorded”. There is not a single University that is equipped to study the Social Pathology of the Indian Media. The professors have yet to come out with a masterly study on the psychopathic behavior of Indian Media, and its impact on the Society.
AN APPEAL TO A HINDU ACADEMICIAN
I will take the case Sastra University, Vallam, Thanjavur, that sponsored Times Now National debates. Mr.Vaithee Subramanian, Dean, by taking active interest, by sponsoring National debates , if he thinks the rating of the university will go up, there are better ways to burn one’s money. A Staunch Hindu academician like Mr.Vaithee Subramanian, both modern and ancient, at the same time, and who is highly technically qualified; but not equipped ideologically, to counter the goebellsian propaganda of the psychopathic English Media against Hinduism; Hindu Values; Hindu Leaders and Nationalism. He simply does not simply understand the transnational forces that control the TV channels, and who are behind the face of Arnab Goswami.
IDEALOGICAL DEMONS
The Hindu sponsor in this case, Satra University, helping anti-hindus with Hindu money, without precondition, is a dangerous trend. As a student of Sastra University, you will be doing a great service if you present a copy of the book “Social Media As Watchdog”, to your college library. If you have money to burn there are better causes his money could be put to use to save the Cow and its progeny from butchers and Protection of ancient Temple and its lands; the two primary causes the Kanchi Paramacharya, espoused. To help his arch enemies of Hinduism like Arnab Goswami who is destroying Hinduism.
One hopes something similar to “Manufacturing Consent The political economy of the Mass Media,” by Noam Chomsky. I hope Mr.Vaithee Subramanian will do something substantial along this line instead of resorting populism. Click URL below.

There are no forums to criticize the Television and Press in India, Perhaps his university could start one similar to FAIR {http://fair.org/}if he wants substantial improvement in the quality of TV production.
