Coverage made easy

IN Media Watch Briefs | 20/01/2014

These days, a TV channel doesn't seem to need to send a TV crew to cover major events of Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi. Like for instance, Rahul Gandhi's interaction with women in Bhopal. It appears the two parties appear to be making arrangements to shoot and link up with some transponder or other and inform the channels to take the feeds. Much like sending a press note in the past. It avoids a TV crew scrum, and the print too can draw from what is telecast. The giveaway is in the same angles in which the visuals are seen on all channels at the same moment.
