  • Development of Media Policies and Reforms During in Pakistan with Reference to the Democratic and Dictatorship Regime
    New Media and Mass Communication www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3267 (Paper) ISSN 2224-3275 (Online) Vol.43, 2015 Development of Media Policies and Reforms during In Pakistan With Reference To the Democratic and Dictatorship Regime *PROF DR MUHAMMAD AHMED QADRI, DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF KARACHI **SUWAIBAH QADRI, DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF KARACHI ***NASEEM UMER, DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF KARACHI ABSTRACT This article studies the comparison between democratic and dictatorship regime in Pakistan, primarilyfocusing on creation of media policies and laws. It is said that development of any society is dependent on number of factors and progressive areas in which media has a vital role. The progressive role of mass media in any society does not only educate and inform the general public but also helps in the formulation of national identity. For the developing countries like Pakistan, the role of media especially becomes crucial when it has to fulfill the requirements of watchdog and simultaneously promotes the national interest and builds positive image of society all around the world. This responsibility of media becomes more difficult when the society has several powerful and influential people, having power to distort, manipulate and biased the opinions of mass media to favor their own good.The article also studies about the opportunities that were present for the media industry and how the new laws and regulations have welcomed the investments with arms wide open. This article, in detail, studies the role of mass media and its growth in democratic and dictatorship regime. Although the general public opinion of the state is always in the favor of the democracy, yet it is quite astonished to know that media’s success was noticeably documented rather in military eras and to be more specific in General Pervez Musharraf’s era.

  • List of Uninvestigated Targeted Pakistan Killings Edit
    A Dossier of Death: Uninvestigated and Unprosecuted Deaths of Journalists in Pakistan According to CPJ research, since the 2002 killing of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, at least 15 other journalists have lost their lives in intentionally targeted killings in Pakistan. But, unlike Pearl's murder, none of the other journalists' deaths have been prosecuted and virtually all of them have gone uninvestigated. CPJ firmly believes that the same intense efforts the government brought to bear in Pearl's killing should be carried out in the cases of the other journalists who have died in Pakistan. Pakistan has one of the world's worst records for impunity in the killing of journalists. It ranks 10th in the world on CPJ's Impunity Index, which measures the number of unsolved journalist murders as a percentage of the population. But, while murders make up more than 70 percent of work- related deaths among journalists around the world, according to CPJ research, in Pakistan, targeted killings have only counted for 50 percent of reporters' deaths. The rest have come as a result of indiscriminate violence or crossfire during conflicts, a regrettable reality for many in Pakistan. With the successful prosecution of many of these journalist's deaths, Pakistan could remove itself from CPJ's Impunity Index, setting an example for the rest of the world. 1 Wali Khan Babar Geo TV January 13, 2011, in Karachi, Pakistan Reporter Babar was shot shortly after filing a report about gangland clashes in Karachi's Liaquatabad district. At least two assailants intercepted Babar's car while it was stopped in traffic at 9:20 p.m., shooting him multiple times in the head and neck, Geo TV Managing Director Azhar Abbas told CPJ.

    Caught between five extremes: Reporting Pakistan Razeshta Sethna Thomson Reuters Fellow Hilary and Trinity Terms 2015 1 Acknowledgements The opportunity to learn at the University of Oxford is invaluable. I would like to thank the Thomson Reuters Foundation for their generosity, interest and faith, without which this research paper would not have been possible. Your excel- lence, commitment and passion to develop the best practices in journalism have contributed to the very best experience of my professional and academic life. My supervisor, Caroline Lees has been more than generous with her time and patience, and while doing so shown huge amounts of curiosity for my difficult world. Thank you, Caroline. You always make it appear easy to accomplish the most difficult of tasks. I would also like to thank James Painter and David Levy for their interest and encouragement; for making the Institute an oasis of diversity in the midst of a traditional center of learning. And a thank you to the wonderful Reuters staff for ensuring my two terms at Oxford were exciting, stimulating, and packed with excellent food. This study would not have been possible without the many conversations with writers, editors and reporters; and the stories told by brave, committed jour- nalists and friends who agreed to be interviewed; sometimes over cups of coffee and cake; sometimes over crackling connections on Skype and Facetime. Thank you, Ayesha Azfar and Bahzad. Thank you, Hameed Haroon and Nilofer. Not just for your interest in showing me the importance of debate, reading just about all I can get my hands on, but with trusting me and teaching me.

  • Environmental Issues Are Creating Problems for Fragile Economies of Developing Countries (Sengupta, 2010)
    Grassroots, Vol.52, No.II July-December 2018 ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS OF THE INDUS DELTA IN PAKISTANI PRINT MEDIA: AN AGENDA SETTING ANALYSIS Ali Akbar Hingorjo Dr Bashir Ahmed Memon ABSTRACT Environmental degradation and climate change are considered as burning issues of human society in these days and media is playing an important role in development of public perception about such issues. In this context, the Indus Delta region of Pakistan is one of the highly vulnerable regions as far as the issues of climate change and environmental degradation are concerned. This article is aimed at evaluating the role of Pakistani print media in highlighting the environmental problems of the Indus Delta region. The article is based on content analysis of selected Sindhi, Urdu and English newspapers to evaluate the role of print media in setting public agenda regarding environmental issues. __________ Keywords: Environmental Problems, Climate Change, Agenda Setting, Indus Delta INTRODUCTION Environmental issues are creating problems for fragile economies of developing countries (Sengupta, 2010). The countries like Pakistan are facing multiple threats due to climate change and environmental degradation including changing rainfall patterns, natural calamities, rising temperatures, land erosion and degradation, sea level rise, glacier melting etc (Joyo & Ram, 2016). In terms of its geology, topography and meteorology the country is vulnerable to both natural and man-made disasters including floods, droughts, landslides and cyclones (Wahid Ullah & Takaaki, 2016). According to Global Climate Risk Index (2017) Pakistan was among the top ten countries who suffered the most due to extreme weather events during the period from 1996 to 2015 (Kreft et.al., 2017).
