Ankara Jan, 2019 Sana ZAINAB vi ABSTRACT ZAINAB, Sana. Media Literacy Policy in Pakistan, Masters Thesis, Ankara, 2019. Media literacy is a multidisciplinary narrative which has been defined differently by different scholars and researchers. Over the time, it has been explicated in many ways and incorporated distinct techniques. Media literacy is not something bizarre rather its multifarious and diversified in nature. Since the early 19th century, the debate of media literacy started in different parts of the wold and the prime focus was print literacy and film literacy. In contemporary era, new ICTs have transformed the whole landscape of media and communication around the globe. The access to internet is much easier than ever before. McLuhan’s global village is well connected and taking both social and professional life to cyber space. Advancement in communication technology is changing learning patterns too. Intentionally and unintentionally, we are exposed to excessive information online. On one hand, cyber crimes, cyber bullying, online gambling, internet pornography and violent video games are effecting the internet users. On the other hand, media manipulation, fake news, propaganda, privacy, online harassment, security and data mining are some other challenges of this domain. Traditional pedagogy is lacking in creating critical thinking and democratization of education system to meet the goals of today’s media mediated world. That leads to the need of media literacy. Critical media literacy can help to bring educational and social reforms. This study focus on media literacy policy for Pakistan. A media literacy policy for Pakistan could stimulate other South Asian and developing countries to take a step. As far as Pakistan is concern, media is not just watch dog rather act as a third party in almost all affairs. The constitution of Pakistan gives right to information, right to education and freedom of expression but practically, how far it’s true is also discussed. Pakistani media and education system both are reviewed. For data collection, in-depth interview method has been used. For that educationists, media practitioners and media teachers were contacted. It emphasizes that critical media literacy can enable both adults and kids to decode media messages rightly, no matter if it’s conventional or new media. This study identifies the need of media literacy policy in Pakistan as well as purposes the basic framework for such a policy. Key Words Media literacy, New Media, Media education, media, literacy, education, curriculum, school vii ÖZET ZAİNAB, Sana. Pakistan’da Medya Okuryazarlığı Politikası, Yüksek Lisans Tezi, Ankara, 2019. Medya okuryazarlığı, farklı bilim insanları ve araştırmacılar tarafından farklı şekillerde tanımlanan, birçok yönden açıklanan ve farklı teknikler içeren çok disiplinli bir anlatıdır.19. yüzyılın başlarından beri, medya okuryazarlığı tartışması dünyanın farklı yerlerinde başlamış ve ana odak noktası okuma yazma bilme ve film okuryazarlığı olmuştur. Modern zamanda yeni Bilgi ve İletişim Teknolojileri (BIT) dünyadaki tüm medya ve iletişim alanlarını değiştirmiştir. İnternete erişim artık geçmişte hiç olmadığı kadar kolaydır. McLuhan’ın ‘küresel köy’ kavramının bağlantıları gelişmiş ve hem sosyal hem de mesleki yaşamı siber uzama taşımıştır. İletişim teknolojisindeki gelişme, öğrenme modellerini de değiştirmektedir. Kasıtlı ve kasıtsız olarak, çevrimiçi ortamda aşırı bilgi erişimine maruz kalmaktayız. Bir yandan, siber suçlar, siber zorbalık, çevrimiçi kumar oynama, internet pornografisi ve şiddet içeren video oyunları internet kullanıcılarını

  • End of News:Internet Censorship in Turkey
    https://www.freewebturkey.com/end-of-news End of news: Internet censorship in Turkey This report was published as part of the Free Web Turkey project carried out by the Media and Law Studies Association between November 2019 and October 2020. http://www.freewebturkey.com | http://www.mlsaturkey.com About MLSA and Free Web Turkey The Media and Law Studies Association (MLSA) was founded in 2017 and its main field of activity is of- fering legal protection to journalists and people tried in freedom of expression cases. As the MLSA, we aim to provide guidance to websites, media organizations and all content producers facing censorship in digital media on methods of coping with censorship, offering them legal consultancy, tools to avoid censorship and a set of internet services that would ease their efforts within the scope of the Free Web Turkey project, which we have been conducting in the field of internet freedom for a year. Besides, we bring together groups working in the field of digital freedoms and freedom of expression to organize panels, roundtable discussions, publish articles, and conduct training programs for content producers to raise awareness against censorship. Another goal of our project is to organize the network of communication and solidarity between institutions, which is one of the most essential components in combating digital censorship. To this end, we try to keep an up-to- date list of blocked URLs and create a database so that we can run a joint and more powerful campaign against censorship. While doing all these, we aim to protect the freedom of expression in the law, the Constitution and international conventions, and to exercise this right effectively.

  • 1 Why Did a Military Dictator Liberalize the Electronic Media in Pakistan?
    Media South Asia Volume: Draft Chapter Hassan Why did a military dictator liberalize the electronic media in Pakistan? Dr. Kiran Hassan Many private television channels have opened since the liberalization of our media. We have to work hard to improve our image around the world, and we must proceed on all fronts simultaneously. We have to defeat terrorism and extremism, but at the same time we must also present a culturally rich, inviting, and economically vibrant alternative in its place. The media need to gear up to sell Pakistan abroad (Musharraf, 2006: 321). General Musharraf’s liberalization of the media surprised many. The Pakistani media liberalization case contradicts conventional arguments that dictatorships impose repression on the press (Randall, 1993: 628); that news bureaus in non-democratic regimes often face strict state control (Gunther and Mughan, 2000: 404–405); or that military leaders usually adopt media control as a personal policy preference (Frantz and Ezrow, 2011: 86). Contrary to established wisdom, this chapter will present seven reasons which prompted the military dictator to liberalize the broadcasting sector in 2002, and through this case offer arguments on novel and counter-intuitive forms of media control that emerged with dictatorship and economic reforms in Pakistan. Even though some analysts of contemporary Pakistan mention General Musharraf’s privatization of the broadcasting sector, they tend to tackle this topic fleetingly. Talbot (2012) looks at Musharraf’s aspiration for a more formidable military mouthpiece after the Kargil War, Lodhi (2011) treats this as part of Musharraf’s liberal agenda, Zaidi (2011) believes it to be a timely response to the fast changing technologically savvy Asian neighbourhood, and Ahmed (2007) suggests that Musharraf was looking for economically viable reforms and that the liberalization of media was one of them.

  • Internet Censorship in Turkey: University Students' Opinions
    World Journal on Educational Technology 1 (2009) 46‐56 www.world‐education‐center.org/index.php/wjet Internet censorship in Turkey: University students' opinions * Hasan Ozkan a , Arda Arikan b a Hacettepe University, Faculty of Education, Beytepe, 06800, Ankara, Turkey b Hacettepe University, Faculty of Education, Beytepe, 06800, Ankara, Turkey Received April 30, 2009; revised May 31, 2009; accepted June 22 , 2009 Abstract The aim of this paper is to study university students’ opinions toward online censorship with references to their socio‐ political and economic variables. Considering the upwards trend and the increasing number of online restrictions in Turkey, the opinions of university students (n=138) are thought to give significant findings. The questionnaire aimed to collect data on some chosen aspects of censorship which are internet access regulation by legal authorities, online pornographic content, websites distributing illegal and crime related information and the political and religious aspects of the internet censorship. The findings about these four basic aspects toward the online censorship revealed that despite the high proportion of approval, participants have a confused and inconsistent attitude towards the issue especially within the application and the idea of censorship. In a broader aspect, the findings can be interpreted as a sign of university students’ insufficient knowledge and understanding towards the current situation and the possible future of online censorship in Turkey.

In a society, known for its conservative approach and attitude, several subjects have long not been discussed in a public discourse. This study explores how the media revolution of the 21st century is changing this situation by compromising and recontextualizing these taboos, as depicted through a text or talk. In recent years, the country's private TV industry has depicted some highly unpleasant topics in its dramas. The critical perspective of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe (1985) probes deeply into the discourse of TV dramas to uncover the hidden ideologies behind the words in broader social and cultural contexts. To show this change, this study analyzes six Pakistani dramas dealing with hitherto tabooed topics to reveal the pros and cons of the growing ideological trends in Pakistani TV Dramas. First, the study outlines the significance of drama in shaping and recontextualizing ideologies. Second, it outlines certain salient taboo features applicable to almost every play. Finally, it suggests a few improvements in a bid to make things better. Keywords: Recontextualizations of Ideologies, Taboos, Pakistani TV Dramas, Critical Study.
