Accuracy and professionalism are the watchwords in the world of sports journalism. A recent episode involving New Zealand cricketer Rachin Ravindra has again brought to the fore the problem of unverified news being propagated by some sections of the media.
Rumors about Rachin Ravindra's Phone
Recently, certain media channels reported that the phone of Rachin Ravindra had been stolen in Pakistan during the current ICC tournament. The news traveled fast on social media, and there were many fans reacting to it without knowing anything about the same.
But the New Zealand team's media manager soon rubbished these rumors, saying that nothing like this had happened. This is a clear indication that the reports were totally false and based on rumors.
Shortage of Fact-Verification in Media
One of the largest issues facing media today is the eagerness to post breaking news of scandal without confirming facts. Here, a confirmation call from the New Zealand cricket team would have ensured that such spurious news would not spread. Rather than concern for facts, some media worked on fabricating unnecessary controversy.
