Journalism, these days, is no more about principles and ethics. It has become all about likes, comments, and TRP. Not showing distressing visuals like that of someone’s death or protecting the victim’s identity is something every journalism school teaches.
But despite the education, several big and small news organizations have been seen flouting these basic rules. In fact, they have become so insensitive that now they are sharing images of mortal remains of deceased celebs like our very own Bappi Lahiri.
Just yesterday, disco king Bappi Da left us for his heavenly abode. And while his family and the entire film fraternity grieved their loss, a paparazzi was able to click pics of his mortal remains inside a casket and now it has been posted online. The mourning visuals of the Lahiri family are something they want to cash in on. It’s unethical and wrong on so many levels.
This is what they captioned it. Like, seriously?!
Thankfully, fans second with our opinions and want the disturbing images to be taken down ASAP.
Not just this, the reporters and cameramen are just hounding celebs visiting Bappi da’s home to pay their last respects to him.

Definitely, no one is enjoying this, and being bugged by paps around is the last thing people want at such depressing times. Can we just be a little more sensitive?
