Express News Facebook Page – Disrespectful!

Well apart from the disrespect and the most stupidest things being done by the media (news channels) to generate more GRPs/TRPs for their respective channels through sensationalization, this post is about something completely different that I encountered today.

With the expansion of social media (especially Facebook), many companies and brands have been jumping on to making and managing their Facebook Page in order to stay connected to their audiences/consumers. Similarly I had been a fan of the Express News fan page on Facebook and I was shocked as I saw a picture shared by the people managing the Express News page. Depending on the type of brand/company, the stance of the etiquettes can vary. Like for example, the Facebook page of AXE Effect, will have a completely different way of communicating with their customers as compared to Pepsi Cola, or maybe a Bank.

I really don’t know what to call it as I am out of words. Take a look at it yourself and tell me what do you think. Express News Facebook page shared the following photo today:

Why don’t you have a closer look?

I am not sure about you guys, but at least I don’t expect a News Channel to behave in a disrespectful way towards anyone. Even if it is for fun. It is not a fun group managed by unprofessional people, and this is not the only way to engage the consumers by sharing irrelevant and dis-respectful photos and videos. Maybe I am being over critical, but I still don’t feel this is right.

I just thought I’d share. Check it out for your own self: http://www.facebook.com/ExpressNews1
