Q25. Prince, a 5 yrs old boy had fallen into a 55 ft borewell shaft in Alenharhi village in Kurukshetra. Haryana and was rescued by the army after a 50 hours ordeal in which a parallel shaft was dug through a well.

Along with food, a closed circuit television camera (CCTV) had been lowered into the shaft in which the little boy was trapped. Two news channels suspended all other programmes and reporting of all other events and for two days continuous footage of the child bravely fighting off insects, sleeping or crying out to his mother was splashed on the TV screen.

They even interviewed many people outside the temples asking them “what do you feel about Prince?” They asked people to send SMS for Prince. (Prince ke liye aapka sandesh hamein bheje xxx pe).

Thousands of people had descended at the site and several free community kitchens were run for 2 days. It soon created a national hysteria and concern and people were shown praying in temples, mosques, churches and gurudwaras.

There are other such instances when the TV is shown to intrude into personal lives of people. 6
(i) What is the likely impact of this competition among television channels to outdo one another in running exclusive live coverage of events for gaining higher viewership.

(ii) Can we look at this issue as a kind of voyeurism (peep into some other people’s private/intimate moments) indulged in by television cameras?
