TV glut |
| |
Nadia Waqar from Karachi writes to Editor, “Sir: The increasing number of private television channels only helps the media if these channels meet some minimum quality standards. I recently had the misfortune to view an interview of Justice Nasira Javed Iqbal on a local channel, talking about the Women’s Protection Act (WPA). The host cut her off in mid sentence on several occasions to switch to commercials or pitch in with his own views. The camera movement for the show was visibly shaky and at one point the people on screen were even inverted! However, the real nail in the coffin was the incorrectly spelt title of the show: it read “Jostic Nasira Javed Iqbal”.
