A Government report accuses the media of sensational reporting at a time many schools were going up in flames. "Sensational media reports were cited as one of the causes of unrest since many reports seemed to glorify negative students' activities," reads the report. "For example, one media house reported the burning of four dormitories in one school whereas none had actually been burnt and there was no form of unrest experienced in that school," reads the report. And in another school, where there was an attempt to burn a dormitory, the report says, the culprits confessed that they had wanted to appear on television.
