Media Protest
Gagging the media is unwise by Ghayoor Ahmed |
| |
“The ongoing government-media crisis is a serious development that has created a serious situation. Prudence demands that before the present standoff between the government and the media becomes any worse, an unconditional and result-oriented dialogue be initiated between the two sides to resolve the matter in the right spirit. Both sides must redefine their relationship in a fair and objective spirit. Failure to do so will make things worse for both and for the country.” |

Letter to editor “A responsible media” |

S R Khan, “Television is an important part of the entertainment industry. In this capacity, it has become one of the biggest employers in Pakistan. The electronic media, which includes TV and FM radio, has provided thousands of job opportunities to the youth. This is an industry that runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No wonder that the entertainment industry has grown into the largest provider of job opportunities in the developed world.”
