Hockey misses the goal I went to cover the finals of the KSHA finals between IOCL and Army XI. well i didnt expect much of a crowd as it was just our long forgotten national game but then what i was unhappy about is that the media was also not present ...except a couple of photographers... i recognised one from TOI... there was one person doin video too...but that was about all... the media should play a more active role in promoting the sport. deccan herald which had sponsored the event was the only paper where details of the match and the rest of the tournament were available. this also is the case with sports like football, badminton or TT. Lawn tennis for some glamour element has found its way to the highlight. Although it was easy for me to get an interview from the winning captain and coach and one of the world cup returns... it's sad that this was possible only because no other media person sought them... we dont even know who consists the national team... i was fortunate i...
An eye on the media...what it is doin...good and bad.
