The character in the movie failed to follow the media ethics. The reason being the anchors are not supposed to use their channels for their personal interests. Basically, I noticed two things in the movie that were quite prominent. 1) How to make the Positive news a negative one and 2) How to make the Negative news a Positive one which is totally against the media ethics. Basically, the definition of NEWS to me, is the revealing of truth to the masses as it is without adding or deleting a single word which is the true spirit of journalism. But in the movie, the journalists were playing the role of an activist rather than the journalist because they were manipulating the news (Both Negative and Positive News) in order to gain popularity for themselves and for their channel. By doing so, naturally their channel ratings went up and the channel started making money. On the other hand, the viewers were totally misguided because they were not getting the truth, rather they were getting the manipulated news which was beneficial to only few stakeholders which is totally unethical & illegal.
