India: Starry Weddings and News · Global Voices

DesiDabba comments on the media frenzy over a star-studded wedding. “The emphasis seems to be more on generating news than reporting news. Agreed that the marriage in first family of Hindi film industry would be a news gold mine but bombarding the viewers with the same news over and over is a little too much. Yesterday I saw a 45 minutes program dedicated to the wedding and sangeet ceremony on Star News.”
