*NE Live Imphal Correspondent and Meitei Journalist Exposed:*

Journalistic integrity is the cornerstone of a free and fair media,especially in times of crisis.However,recent incidents involving Meitei journalists based in Imphal raise serious concerns about bias and the erosion of ethical standards in reporting.

One striking instance occurred when Imphal correspondent from North East Live TV,along with a group of Meitei journalists based in Imphal,was seen confronting Army personnel on duty along the national highway.Their behavior was not just confrontational but also appeared to reflect a premeditated agenda.
The North East Live correspondent,for example,directly questioned the Army, saying, "Have you fired any bullets?"—a statement that seemed less about seeking clarity and more about insinuating misconduct.

The Army personnel were stationed along the highway to monitor vehicle movement following a violent firing incident in the Sanasabi and Yaingangpokpi regions. Despite the Army's neutral role as peacekeepers, the journalists' aggressive questioning and body language suggested an intent to cast them in a negative light.

This kind of behaviours reveals a troublingengaging in overtly biased behavior,some Meitei journalists appear to prioritize community-driven narratives over objective truth.Their actions during a highly sensitive period—marked by ethnic strife and widespread mistrust—undermine the very principles of journalism. Instead of serving as impartial informants,they risk becoming tools for deepening divisions and fueling further discord.

The implications of such conduct are far-reaching.When journalists display partiality, it not only distorts public perception but also erodes confidence in the media as a credible institution.Furthermore, their biased reporting risks exacerbating tensions between communities by misrepresenting facts or omitting perspectives that challenge their narrative.

Observing the demeanor of these journalists towards the Army raises legitimate questions about the credibility of their reporting.Are they genuinely presenting the truth,or are they selectively curating information to align with personal or communal biases?At a time when the region desperately needs balanced and fact-based reporting to promote reconciliation and understanding,such behavior is deeply damaging.

It is crucial for journalists,particularly in conflict zones,to adhere to the highest standards of integrity and impartiality. Failure to do so not only tarnishes the profession but also risks further inflaming an already volatile situation.
