On August 15, as news channels in the rest of India celebrated Independence Day, Malayalam news channels did not have time to pause. They were in the midst of an unprecedented crisis, with flood waters engulfing large portions of the state. This was a disaster of unimaginable proportions, and in the wrong hands, the coverage of the floods, too, could have been disastrous. Luckily for Kerala, the Malayalam TV channels in the state decided to keep calm and deal with the crisis in the only right way to do it: with absolute maturity and zero theatrics. No one dived into water or got into a metaphorical bathtub. No one screamed or took credit for ‘being the first’ or ‘being the best’. They all prioritised being responsible instead.

In place of the regular breaking news ticker, they introduced many layers of graphics for information dissemination. The big decision taken at the meeting was to introduce a ticker called 'Good News'. At a time when Kerala was panicking, and rumours of dams bursting were spreading like wildfire, the 'Good News' ticker relentlessly told viewers about how much the water level was coming down in each reservoir, and relayed weather predictions.

Manorama News, News 18 Malayalam, Mathrubhumi, Asianet, Reporter Live, Jai Hind, Kaumudy, Janam and Media One, all served as distress call centres. 'We put out a number on which people could call us. People were frantic, they were not sure who could help. They wanted us to hand over their numbers to the CM’s office, to the Army, NDRF or Navy, to whoever could provide help,” recalls Johny Lukose, the Editor of Manorama News. “We confirmed people's locations and then handed over the information to the CM's office, that was co-coordinating with distress calls,' he says.

'The location of each person and their contact number was handed over to the CM’s office. We also made medical emergencies a priority,' says an editor with News 18.
