Analysis of PTV News Channel

Introduction:
PTV News (formerly PTV World) is a 24-hour state news channel in Pakistan. It provides news in English and Urdu to the Pakistani community worldwide. It also provides News in Arabic/Sindhi/ Gujrati /Pashto/Kashmiri/Gojri /Balti /Shena. It's the only Government News channel of Pakistan so because of this many people criticize its unfair news reporting like this news channel is always in the favor of current Government. Until 2007, PTV News was known as PTV World News.

Mission Statement: Sach Zimendari kay Sach (Facts with responsibility)

Competitive Analysis:
Gallup Pakistan’s TV Ratings Services, 8.6 million Pakistanis have watched PM Online aired on PTV News & Samaa TV on 1st March 2011. Not so surprisingly 80% of these 8.6 million Pakistanis hailed from rural areas and only 20 % from urban areas. According to Gallup Media Research experts the number is very sizeable in comparison with other High Ratings Programs in the country. The prime reason for such a high figure appears to be near monopoly of PTV in Rural TV viewers of Pakistan. Furthermore, a sizeable number (2-3 million Urban Men and Women) do not have access to Cable Channels and therefore have PTV News as there only available channel. The figure contradicts the prevalent view in the country that Cable Televisions are the only source of information in the country and PTV has lost its relevance.

    Evaluating the Role of the Media in the British General Election 2010

    Television is a very powerful media form, as “more than 90% of the UK TV homes already have digital” (The Guardian Online 2010) shows that we are relatively dependant on having television in our day-to-day lives. Television as a media form is the most powerful source of information for the average person, as the news is on hourly on a large variety of channels, reporting news from all over the world. There are even specific channels that viewers can tune into to receive specialist television programs, like BBC Parliament, where viewers can watch the House of Commons live from the comfort of their own homes.…

    Comparison Of BBC News And ABC News

    Millions of people worldwide watch the news televised every single day. They want to stay updated on what’s going on around them locally, regionally as well as internationally.

    Are Commercial Current Affairs Programs ‘Dumbing Down’ Public Discourse in Australia?

    There has been much speculation about the increasing diminishment of television news audiences and the rising prevalence of Internet news consumers. Despite the claims that the Internet will one day overthrow the dominance of television, presently it remains as the ‘most consumed form of journalism’ (Cushion 2012, p. 5). The power and influence that television exerts over our lives as Errington and Miragliotta argue is due to its ‘ubiquity, the limited obstacles to access and usage, the high level of intimacy with the viewer and its large scale reach’ rendering it ‘one of the most powerful media’ (2011, p. 44). Given the pervasiveness of television in our everyday lives and its dominant role in telling people the news; we should examine how effectively the mass media serve the public interest by informing the population of the important issues outside of their immediate personal experience.…

    Another group of TV programs is news programs. Channels belonging to this group tend to be professional, topical, and forecast weather news. Those who like news usually watch local and international news channels, such as CNN, NBC, or FOX. The news programs also have contents of information and reports about many different fields like policy, economics, and culture. Most children don’t like to watch these channels and some adult viewers that like to relax after a long day at work would rather choose a more entertaining channel because news programs have just elaborate numbers and topical information. However, news channels bring a lot of useful information. Most of news channels’ viewers are economists, businessmen, and politicians.…

The invitation came from Jill Andrews, FCC vice-chair, and I am, of course, delighted to take part in the project. As noted on the enclosed report, one function of this study will be to compare the news programming in countries that have a long history of free-access broadcasting with the programming in newly developed countries.

    To sum up, there are many differences between television news and online news, such as the access to information, the quality of news, or the receiver’s participation. While online news seems to be more available and gives the receiver the chance to comment, the television news still remains more reliable. It is up to the receiver to choose what is more important to…

    Public Service Broadcasting

    To begin with, it is crucial here that the key reason for PSB to exist is that it has purposes that differ from the state-controlled broadcasting model and the profit-oriented commercial one. Thus, the principal is to benefit not any commercial or political interests but the public. Moreover, the goals of PSB are not only different from, but also complementary to, the activities of the private sector, which seems to be driven by only one ambition -targeting the largest possible audiences through the most attractive content with no respect for public interest.…

    Media in Pakistan

    Pakistan has a vibrant media landscape; among the most dynamic in South Asia. To a large extent the media enjoys freedom of expression in spite ofpolitical pre ssure and direct bans sometimes administered by political stake-holders. More than 40 television channels beam soaps, satire, music programmes, films, religious speech, political talk shows, and news of the hour. Although sometimes criticised for being unprofessional and politically biased, the television channels have made a great contribution to the media landscape and to Pakistani society. Radio channels are numerous and considered a very important source of information – especially in rural areas. Besides the state channel Radio Pakistan, a number of private radios carry independent journalistic content and news. But most radio content is music and entertainment. There are hundreds of Pakistani newspapers from the large national Urdu newspapers to the small local vernacular papers. Media demographics reflect a multi-linguistic, multi-ethnic and stratified class society with a clear divide between Urdu and English media. Urdu media are mostly consumed by the rural population. The English media targets urban and the elite and is more liberal and professional in comparison. English print, television and radio channels have far smaller audiences than their Urdu counterparts, but have great leverage among opinion makers, politicians, the business community, and the upper strata of society. Besides the Urdu/English and Rural/Urban divide, Pakistan media is also di vided linguistically with a series of media in vernacular languages, such as Punjabi, Pashto and Sindhi. Pakistan‟s media sector is highly influenced by the ownership structure. There are three dominating media moguls, or large media groups, which to some extent also have political affiliations. Due to their dominance in both print and broadcast industries all three media…
