Many Indian news channels have been criticized for focusing disproportionately on masala news, which is defined as news that is sensationalized and often trivialized. Masala news often includes stories that are meant to shock or entertain viewers, such as crime, gossip, and celebrity news. This type of news is particularly popular among younger viewers and has been adopted by news channels as a way to attract viewers and increase ratings. The reliance on masala news has caused some to criticize these channels for neglecting to cover important news topics, such as politics and socio-economic issues.
