A 'running' TV report: Reporter chasing an aide of Rahul Gandhi

Television reporting took an all new turn when videos of a reporter from a leading English news channel went viral on Facebook. The video showed the reporter chasing an aide of Rahul Gandhi from the Press Club, where Jignesh Mevani, the face of the Dalit agitation in Gujarat, was supposed to address the media. The aide was seen dodging questions about Gandhi’s presence or his meeting with Mevani. The video took a hilarious turn when, while trying to avoid the questions, the aide ran from one end of the road to the other — all the while being chased by the reporter and his cameraman. Despite the huffing and puffing, the reporter couldn’t get past the aide, who successfully boarded an auto-rickshaw and vamoosed.
