Abstract

An award winning and critically acclaimed movie, New Delhi Times is among a very few films which grapples with the dark and dubious relationship of politics, media, and corruption. The film debates on the traditional construction of objectivity in news reporting. It sets our sight on the journalistic ethics by reviving the debate whether if a journalist is covering a riot, should he or she help a wounded victim on the road or rejoice at a perfect photograph or a story he or she has chanced upon? In the contemporary media scenario, journalists are often accused of compromising the ethical standards while reporting a disaster or a tragedy. Taking the film as a case study, this paper ponders on the desensitization of media professionals towards tragedies and questions the role of a journalist as a detached observer or someone who bears the obligation of unravelling truth behind the incident.
从电影到现实:通过电影《新德里时报》探讨客观性概念和媒体伦理
新德里时报》是一部屡获殊荣、广受好评的电影,也是极少数探讨政治、媒体和腐败之间黑暗、可疑关系的电影之一。影片对新闻报道中客观性的传统构建进行了辩论。它让我们重新关注新闻伦理,重新讨论如果一名记者正在报道一场骚乱,他或她是否应该帮助路上受伤的受害者,或者为他或她偶然发现的一张完美照片或一篇报道而高兴?在当代媒体环境中,记者经常被指责在报道灾难或悲剧时损害了道德标准。本文以电影为案例,探讨了媒体从业人员对悲剧的麻木不仁,并质疑记者的角色是超然的旁观者,还是有义务揭开事件真相的人。
