This is the era of information explosion in a
world that has shrunk to drawing room
proportions. Everything is as close as you want
it to be. The communication revolution has
made its effect on the world of sports too.
Today, the fax machines and computers have
made it so easy that if Stefan Edberg suffers a
shock at Wimbledon at 1:30 a.m. IST, the news
can comfortably make the morning papers in
74. The author's objective in writing the passage
New Delhi. Today, the media- especially the TV
and the press attention on sportspersons has
turned the best of them into national heroes
and international celebrities.
There were days when top players walked out
of the tournament sites to neighborhood
markets for window shopping after matches or
events. Today's Ramesh Krishnans, Kapil Devs
and Ashwani Nachappas cannot afford such a
privilege - they would be mobbed at every turn,
75. According to the author, it is not necessary for
whether it is New Delhi, Lords or Beijing.
Inevitably, the information boom is triggered by
the media obsession with sports. While, on the

fans of the 50s or 60s would hardly have known
the name of Rod Laver's wife. Now any 12 or 13
year old seems to be able to tell you the name
of Stefan Edberg's girlfriend. This is just one
example. There are hundreds of others in the
world of sport. In such cases, where the
information - if you can call it that - has nothing
to do with a player's game or even the player,
can media take shelter behind the public's right
to know. Is that right absolute? If one's right to
swing his arms ends where the other's nose
begins, then doesn't the right of the media to
inform and that of the public to be informed
end where the sportsperson's private life
begins?
Isn't there a life between journalistic license
and licentious journalism in the sports columns?
There is, of course, no attempt at pompous
sermonizing here but merely an effort to see if
there is a sense of awareness in a section of the
sports press of the responsibilities that go with
inalienable freedom to inform.
