Staff Reporter: Kavathe:
Hundreds of people flock every hour to Rulewadi, a tiny settlement near Ambegaon. They wait in long winding queues in the hot sun to get u ‘special’ powder from Miribaba who claims that it cures all sorts of diseases. According to him, he has developed this powder from a special herb in the Himalayas. Unwilling to give the exact name and source of the herb, he only says that it was revealed to him. He offers it at Rs 25 a packet. Each packet is specially ‘blessed’ by him. Some of his followers claim that they have seen him curing thousands of people with his powder. However, Dr Kurnik of Ambegaon Civil Hospital says that the number of patients in their hospital has in fact increased in the last few weeks.

No, Miribaba and his followers will not like the news.

आंबेगाव जवळच्या राळेवाडी या लहानशा वस्तीमध्ये दररोज प्रत्येक तासाला शेकडो लोक भेट देतात. येथे राहणारा मिरीबाबा त्यांना एक जडीबुटींची भुकटी देतो. या औषधाने सर्व आजार बरे होतात असा दावा तो करतो. ही औषधी त्याने हिमालयातील विशेष वनस्पतींपासून बनवल्याचे सांगून २५ रुपयांना एक पुडी याप्रमाणे त्या भुकटीची विक्री करतो. प्रत्येक पुडी देताना तो . रुग्णाला खास आशीर्वाद देतो. या भुकटीमुळे असंख्य लोक बरे झाल्याचे त्याचे काही शिष्य सांगत असतात, तर आंबेगाव नागरी रुग्णालयाचे डॉ. कर्णिक यांच्या मते मात्र गेल्या काही आठवड्यांपासून त्यांच्या रुग्णालयातील रुग्णांच्या संख्येत वाढ झाली आहे. यावरूनच मिरीबाबाच्या औषधातील खोटेपणा दिसून येतो. त्याच्या भुकटीमुळे कोणतेही आजार बरे होत नाहीत, हे सिद्ध होते.

The Welcome Introduction
बहुधा लोकांचा असा विश्वास असतो, की आपण जे दूरदर्शनवर (टिव्ही) पाहतो, रेडिओवर ऐकतो. किंवा वृत्तपत्रात वाचतो ते खरे असते; पण माध्यामांमधून आपल्याला दिल्या जात असलेल्या माहितीबद्दल विचार करणे आवश्यक आहे. एखादया गोष्टीबद्दलचे विविध दृष्टिकोन काळजीपूर्वक लक्षात घेतल्यावरच आपण आपले मत बनवले पाहिजे.
‘News Analysis’ या पाठामध्ये आपण दररोज पाहत असलेल्या, वाचत असलेल्या किंवा ऐकत असलेल्या बातम्यांचा अर्थ कसा लावला जातो, याबाबत भाष्य केले आहे. काहीवेळा (सकारात्मक) बातम्या चांगल्या असतात, ज्या ऐकून आपल्याला आनंद होतो. काहीवेळा बातम्या वाईट असतात आणि त्या ऐकून आपल्याला दुःख होते. बातम्या कंटाळवाण्या असतात आणि मनोरंजकही असतात. कोणतीही बातमी वाचताना किंवा पाहताना ती विश्वसनीय आहे, की नाही ही बाब लक्षात घेतली पाहिजे.
बातमीच्या घटकांचं विश्लेषण करण्यास उपयोगी ठरतील अशी विविध उदाहरणे या पाठात दिली आहेत.
