Summary
This two-page scanned newspaper clipping from The Sunday Free Press Journal, dated 13 September 1987, contains the article “Television sans vision” alongside unrelated political and general-news reports. The principal article criticizes Doordarshan’s programming and institutional priorities, contrasting entertainment that merely fills airtime with television that should educate, inform, and address social problems. It juxtaposes filmmaker Kundan Shah’s criticism of television with Minoo Masani’s call for programming to do something concrete, and cites examples of poorly produced historical and rural programming, including a documentary on Govind Ballabh Pant and a programme about Bahadur Shah Zafar.
