Ack :- Abhirup Ghosh<\/p>\n
The news editor looks worried.
\nThe owner sits nearby with his face buried.
\nThe rating is dipping,
\nThe barometer is tripping.<\/p>\n
The channel is going down,
\nWith competition all around.
\nFrustration keeps mounting,
\nPeople are sweating.<\/p>\n
“What to do? Where to go?”
\n“We’ve tried all tricks; what more is there to show?”
\nBreaking news and sensations do not count any more.
\nEven the fabulous anchors have become an eyesore.<\/p>\n
Crime investigations have become clich\u00c3\u00a9d.
\nNews is not shown. It is created.
\nSting operations are becoming a big risk,
\nBig Brother is watching with an invisible fist.<\/p>\n
They need an idea.
\nThe nine o\u00e2\u20ac\u2122clock news is their only hope.
\nBut that looks worse
\nThan a run-of-the-mill soap.<\/p>\n
Suddenly an idea clicks in their mind.
\nIt may be a flop or a great find.
\nPeople want instant news.
\nWhat if they get it a minute early?<\/p>\n
Let others show advertisements,
\nThey will show headlines.
\nThey start off at eight fifty nine,
\nWith hopes of an ominous sign.<\/p>\n
Will it work?
\nWill it sell?
\nThis is something perhaps,
\nI can’t tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
