[icernet] STAR tips to make beautiful TV journalists

[Arul Selvan]

Ahead of the April launch of the much talked about Hindi news channel of 
Rupert Murdoch-owned STAR, the journalists are being groomed. Training 
them are Birla Corporates -- the same people who train airhostesses, 
models and also Miss Indias. They are not just teaching the journalists 
simple manners and etiquettes but also giving them valuable advice on 
their wardrobe.

Senior journalists were shocked to learn about the training. Said Kuldip 
Nayar: "This is disappointing. Journalism is a business of intellect, 
and looking good is not important at all. In such a scenario journalism 
will surely take a backseat and surrender to the exigencies of the show 
business."
