The media boom in Pakistan is an indication of the fact that we have an appetite for awareness. But I have personally experienced how negative impacts our media is leaving on the public and especially on young generation. It is no way wrong that media is taking utmost advantage of its freedom and playing in hands of anti- Pakistan and anti-democratic forces. This leads me to believe that the media is doing worst as the biggest advocacy tool for people and institutions in the country. Most Pakistani newspapers and news channels have played havoc with this nation and some pro- Taliban journalist playing a dangerous role in shaping the views of new generation towards militancy.
News and current affairs programmes have become commercial goods instead of a source of information. Live terrorism coverage is providing action in the intrigue-filled political drama of Pakistan. After the mushroom growth of media now almost there are around 28 news channels in the country. This fast changing scenario created a serious shortage of human resources, particularly in finding experienced television news and current affairs journalists and anchor persons. The vacuum was filled by attracting journalists from the print media by offering them good packages. Except for one or two TV channels, nobody invested in the training of these print media journalists and the new arrivals in television journalism. Television journalism requires quick decisions and an ability to make editorial judgments on the spot. This absence of training, poor editorial control, growth of anchors who have become too powerful to be checked by the news or current affairs editors and the vested interest of the owners has raised many questions about the violation of professional ethics by the several TV channels. Now it seems important that there must be some code of conduct or check or balance system for the media. The unleashed media lead the current set up towards turmoil.
