Can mainstream media tap social media's potential?

Social media, such as blogs, have emerged strongly as forums to express unbridled and original opinion as well as sources of news. My article in The Hoot deals with the question  why mainstream media should use this forum on a regular basis. You can access the article at Can mainstream media tap social media's potential?

  4. Sir, Nice article. I think in our country even main stream media which has a huge reach is failing to deliver/report/discuses real issues our country is facing. Ex: Take Farmers suicide case, I haven't seen any electronic media covering/discussing these issues seriously. And in print media, apart from The Hindu, no other Indian newspapers reports quality editorials!
