Column | Here’s a new word for TV news in India
The Hindu
Consuming TV news in India is like being stuck between a rock (Indian TV news) and a hard place (foreign TV news).
Hello readers. Are you consumers of TV news by any chance? If so, I have two questions.
First of all: why?
Second of all: I hope you are okay.
You see friends, when it comes to TV news, all Indians find themselves in a situation that is widely known as: between a rock and a hard place.
Let me explain this idiom with a real-life example.
Many years ago, I had to travel to Karaikudi from Tiruchi, by bus, in order to represent my college in an inter-college football tournament. I was the back-up goalkeeper. Our original goalkeeper injured himself in one of the preliminary matches, and was forced to retire. So they immediately summoned me.
So there I was. In the bus. And just shortly before reaching Karaikudi, the bus broke down. And I found myself in a rock-and-a-hard-place situation.
