Negative Role Of Media In Pakistan

Media ( print or electronic ) is a very necessary source of information for the Nation. Unfortunately in Pakistan. Media is so much free that they are even allowed to run propaganda campaign against active duty army officers and Intelligence officials. They even blame the killing of journalists on Pakistan Army, The most respected Institution in the world.

Below we will show you some proof of our corrupt media and anchors, actively involved in Sabotaging national Interest of Pakistan And Islam.

Our media anchors often divert the attention of the people from the real issues to non issues on behest of the people they are working for. The media is focusing more on sensationalism than truth creating a negative world view and only highlights the individual sort of issues that disrepute the society. In my opinion a large section of the Pakistani media does not serve the interest of the people, in fact some of it is positively anti-people. It often divides the people. The people, who watch these channels in foreign countries, are for sure constrained to think that Pakistan is full of ill-cultured, fraudulent and dishonest people who always involve in crimes etc. The media has totally ignored the important role it should play in this transition period we are passing through. However, I am not saying that there are no good journalists at all in the media. There are many excellent journalists too who work for the country, but they are always under multiple threats.

Media groups are owned by corporations that seek to profit, regardless of the consequences. Major part of media is absolutely non-objective, complete lies, omission of fact; neglect to report on real news and now false propaganda that could bring the incoming regime under their pressure. The pressure to produce constant unimportant news, all day, every day, on single issue tends to result in over representations of that news. For example, when there is even a minor blast, most of the news channels report almost exclusively on this topic for hours and ignore news with more significance to people’s lives. Each news station is supportive more of one side; biased media. The news covers stories that are more interesting for ratings and gives their opinions more siding with those who pay them more.

Media can play public accountability role by monitoring and investigating the actions of those who are granted public trust and who may be tempted to abuse their office for private gain. The media should work to educate the people, to help the people and to liberate the people and to empower the people. There are times when they should put their personal interests at the back of their mind and show things that could be beneficial for the country and its people and please stop this race of breaking first news just be original. Media is a source of information or communication but now it has been transformed to a source of mere making money. This should stop. Media should act as a bridge between the governing bodies and general public instead of being a tool for one class of politicians and falsely propagating against others to bring them under pressure.

It may be fiction for people but it is bitter reality that there is media war throughout the world. Most of the states fund privately owned channels to promote their message. And this is what we happened to see last year.  It was reported that 340$ million would be doled out to Pakistani media just for presenting America as a friend not foe, of which, outcome, came under the knowledge after the commencements of programs like voice of America in which culture of America has been nicely portrayed. On the other hand, programs like Big Boss and Indian dramas had also started appearing on our TV screens.

Not only this, there are plenty of Indian channels that create political and social hype. They used to present Pakistan as the most dangerous enemy of India.  And, NDTV has lagged behind many channels in this regard.

It is time to realize that Media has nothing to do with the politics. It is mirror of a society and it should present what is truth and reality. Last but not the least; Media should also realize its equal responsibility of building a nation rather than criticizing everything for the sake of personal vendetta.

If media will not play its role in a proper way the whole country will suffer.Because media’s role is to highlight the issues and get solutions for those issues.
If media will not play its role in a proper way then problems will get even worse.If media keeps on projecting the Country and ignores the real issues then those issues will become impossible to solve because when the nation would know it’s issues it would be too late for them to solve it and in the end they will suffer from those issues.
