Watch Out You Holmes


Fake profession is a new boom in the industry as more work pressure has turned the honest reporters and subs to give a false proof of their presence at the assignment venue. Though it is an imposssible task for a reporter to manage his strength without getting tired to attend the assignment yet sometimes it pushes him to an extent to inform his colleagues or chief that he has covered the assignement in a neat way and will bring it sooner or later or even some other time. The reporter cannot be blamed for this because of his inefficiency to attend the assignement but his strength and mental presence doesn't allows him to be present to cover the assignement. So, what are the reasons that motivates him to follow dishonesty with the working organisation. Here are some of the facts mentioned by senior and junior reporters working in various media units:-


In television media giving a fake proof will ruin the channel as the fixed assignement has to be covered no matter what may come. The channel is dependent more on giving flashing news rather than stale news, so, a reporter working in electronic media will have more pressure to cover the assignemnt no matter of time and venue.


  1. In print media a reporter if he is working in headquarters like in Bangalore has all chances to escape from the daily assignment as sometimes the venue is not accessible to cover at the earliest time or could be far from the head office. Here, the reporter will take this as an opportunity to bring a fake reporting by copying other reporters' write-ups who works for other organization

  2. The chief of reporting should take care of all the assignemnt duly circulated among the honest reporters to keep an account of the regular reportage of events happening in the city

  3. The reporter has to remember that he should maintain honesty with the organisation as well as witht the profession. Because anyone can does a foolproof with anything but not with his profession. The more you respect to your profession the higher you will reach to get more awards and praises.

  4. Even if circumstances are not allowing you to be present at the happening event then inform the chief reporter that it will not be possible to attend the event within in the stipulated time so he needs time to fix for it or look for other reporter

  5. If need be you are sent and you could'nt cover it for the organisation then the only remainning thing is left with you is that maintain accuracy in presenting the facts.

If these points mentioned in the above makes you disgusting and feels self-shaming then better you resing the job in media. Becuase any profession in media requires you to be honest and committed rather than fake and dishonesty.
