Dear Rahulji,
Till recently I used to always watch CNN IBN but since the days you started showing the ground work of the AAP in Delhi, being its member and volunteer from Kerala and wanting to know how work was progressing there in the ground, I switched over to your channel. On behalf of all the AAP volunteers not residing in Delhi, I thank you for having done such shows.
There were many instances where you yourself were on ground zero. The shows which your channel did, especially the sabhas at Jantar Mantar with representatives from all political parties and engaging the public in the debate, were a great innovation. Your coverage of how our party did the janta poll on the question of forming the government with the Congress support was also a good one. After forming the government in Delhi, the exposes done by your channel about the corruption in Jal Board and also that of Mr. Somnath Bharti was a good one. The work that your team did to dig out the past businesses of Mr. Somnath Bharti and to have accepted that some of the points your channel had made needed further verification was very fair on your part.
Your channel had continuously acted as a watch dog which members like me appreciate. It gave us an opportunity to see and know things that had not yet reached our notice. With this constant pressure, you made us work better. I thank you for the interest you had shown in the working of our party.
Off late you and your team have proved what investigative journalism is really about.
Yesterday evening's IPL expose, especially the interview of the IPS officer, Mr. Sampath was a very good work ha you all did. But I would like to make a request to you. Your channel should conduct exposes like exposes and not block buster Hindi serials that end an episode by showing a trailer of the next episode, making the viewer desperate to watch the next.
Exposes like the ones that your channel do, need no such provocation. Your exposes are substantiated by very sound facts, very convincing to the viewer. Your news presenters need not pump their emotion and show it on the screen to make the viewers understand the seriousness of the matters that you expose.
While broadcasting you exposes and before slipping in to a break, you and your presenters often say that the next part is going to be more shocking that the one that you had just revealed. It is understandable that you all are excited to broadcast a great work that was done as a team which you had managed to cover with great difficulty, but as I said above, it looks more like a TV serial than an expose when you say that. Most importantly, I've seen that the information that your team gathers is such that even if you were to simply read it out without any emotions, it would charge our minds. Such good is your team's work. I would urge you to please reconsider before you say this during the next expose. Your show would also look more balanced if your presenters emotions are controlled a bit.
Thank you.
