Print and Electronic Media in Pakistan
By Commoner on February 8, 2009 in Current Affairs
“NO one should take journalists too seriously, especially journalists themselves because what they write in the morning is used to wrap fish in the same evening. Maulana Chiragh Hasan Hasrat .”

But you should take bloggers seriously, because after all what they blog remains there online all the way through and cannot be used by the people to wrap fish or potatoes or sundries.

In Pakistan, journalism stands even at the same place even after the introduction of electronic media. A storm of T.V channels is passing through Pakistan. From GEO to ARYONEWORLD TO AAJ, everyone is beating and up-beating about same stories and news with almost similar angles.

What we are learning from these channels? Are they the true journalist face of the Pakistan?

The question is whetPrint media - Eg : Yellow pages, Newspapers, Business directories, Books, Magazines, posters.

Electronic media: Media that uses electronics to reach audience.

Women’s Roles in the Media

By Nicole Mantegna

I have always noticed an intense difference between men and women and how they are portrayed in the media. As a child I was struck with admiration of the women on the television screen or on posters, you know the ones with the perfect everything. As I got older it seemed less amusing and more demeaning. I felt that society was showing us what we are supposed to be. For some odd reason almost every time a woman is portrayed in the media it is in some superficial way, for instance the commercials on household cleaning products show the perfect housewife. The other portrayal is of the perfect looking woman, the perfect body, hair, face. You know the ones that are always focused on there lipstick or the perfect pair of designer shoes. What ever happened to portraying women as they

    In a competitive market, journalism has to be a collective enterprise. Stories that are in the public interest are overlooked by and large by the media because of stiff competition, which is also reflective of lack of good editorial judgement. TV news channels cannot be so competitive with each other that they overlook stories, broken by rivals, of national importance. CNN-IBN is trying to bring in a certain passion and joy to news and newsgathering. It claims to be a channel that is committed to news.…

    In one view, journalism ethics comes down to individual conscience and integrity. This of course raises the problem of ‘human error’. Not everyone is a saint, and given the frequency of ethical failure, we have to accept that there are various incentives at work, not all of which spur journalists to act within the rules.…

    Journalism is referred as “Draft of history” so it must be handled with great care. That’s why all reporting is edited and proof read before being published. Journalists' interaction with sources sometimes involves confidentiality. Many governments guarantee the freedom of the press. By extension, these freedoms sometimes also add legal protection for journalists, allowing them to keep the identity of a source private even when demanded by the police. The main activity of journalism is the reporting of events by stating who, what, when, where, why and how and explaining the significance and impact of the event or trend. Journalism exists in a number of media: newspaper, television, radio, magazines and the internet as a newcomer.…

    Media in Pakistan

    • 16 Pages

    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…

    As I was reading through the posts of buhaymedia.wordpress.com, I realized how blind I was to the real world of the television networks. Of course, I could only see good about it because I was also fed only by good things about it. The journalists composed the media which is the watchdog or the fourth state and it’s their dedication and responsibility to bring forth and defend the rights of the masses and when we say masses it means the whole. But it seems that only a part of the whole is covered by it, according to the ex-GMA talent and a member of the Talents Association of GMA Network Inc.
