  • Media Monitoring Findings' Report
    Media Monitoring Findings’ Report 1 Summary Society for Alternative Media and Research (SAMAR), initiated a media monitoring project with the support of Open Society Foundation (OSF) keeping in view the cross-ownership and control of media by different actors which are restricting the necessary and desirable participatory opportunities to the citizens in order to strengthen democratic process in Pakistan. A monitoring and analysis system was established and daily monitoring of news and views contents of eight private TV news channels and eight newspapers (three English, three Urdu and two Sindhi language newspapers) was done by trained monitors. The monitoring and analysis process was supervised time to time by Independent Citizens’ Media Commission comprising of 11 media experts, academia and civil society leaders. So far, the trends/findings of monitoring of both print and electronic mainstream media are: 1. Almost same pattern and sequel for broadcasting news and same format and topic for talk shows on all TV news channels to discuss current affairs was found. Viewers watch and listen to, more or less, same persons at every channel who are presented as experts of all aspects of life. 2. Out of proportion coverage of political affairs largely consisting of differences among political parties, opposing statements of political leaders and allegation and counter- allegation of corruption, image building of military establishment and promoting its point of view on national security, and fanning hatred against neighboring countries and promoting jingoism. 3. Largely, focused on big cities particularly Karachi and Lahore whereas people and issues of mainland or rural Pakistan are hardly made topic of the news and discussion.

  • Downloading the Tweets, API Limits Imposed by Twitter Should Be Respected
    A Framework for Detecting Event related Sentiments of a Community By Muhammad Aslam Jarwar Department of Computer Science Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan April 20, 2019 Dedicated to H & H (Hasnain & Hibbah) My Kids Declaration I hereby declare that this dissertation is the presentation of my original research work. Wherever contributions of others are involved, every effort is made to indicate this clearly with due reference to the literature and acknowledgment of collaborative research and discussions. This work was done under the guidance of Dr. Rabeeh Ayaz Abbasi, Department of Computer Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. Date: April 20, 2019 Muhammad Aslam Jarwar ii Abstract Social media has revolutionized human communication and styles of interaction. Due to its easiness and effective medium, people share and exchange information, carry out discussion on various events, and express their opinions. For effective policy making and understanding the response of a community on different events, we need to monitor and analyze the social media. In social media, there are some users who are more influential, for example, a famous politician may have more influence than a common person. These influential users belong to specific communities. The main object of this research is to know the sentiments of a specific community on various events. For detecting the event based sentiments of a community we propose a generic framework. Our framework identifies the users of a specific community on twitter. After identifying the users of a community, we fetch their tweets and identify tweets belonging to specific events. The event based tweets are pre-processed.

  • Pakistan Response Towards Terrorism: a Case Study of Musharraf Regime
    PAKISTAN RESPONSE TOWARDS TERRORISM: A CASE STUDY OF MUSHARRAF REGIME By: SHABANA FAYYAZ A thesis Submitted to the University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Political Science and International Studies The University of Birmingham May 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The ranging course of terrorism banishing peace and security prospects of today’s Pakistan is seen as a domestic effluent of its own flawed policies, bad governance, and lack of social justice and rule of law in society and widening gulf of trust between the rulers and the ruled. The study focused on policies and performance of the Musharraf government since assuming the mantle of front ranking ally of the United States in its so called ‘war on terror’. The causes of reversal of pre nine-eleven position on Afghanistan and support of its Taliban’s rulers are examined in the light of the geo-strategic compulsions of that crucial time and the structural weakness of military rule that needed external props for legitimacy. The flaws of the response to the terrorist challenges are traced to its total dependence on the hard option to the total neglect of the human factor from which the thesis develops its argument for a holistic approach to security in which the people occupy a central position.

  • Imran Khan CPEC Diplomacy Remodelling Trade Politics
    Reports Imran Khan CPEC Diplomacy: Remodelling Trade Politics between Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia and China * James M. Dorsey Al Jazeera Centre for Studies Tel: +974-40158384 [email protected] 29 October 2018 http://studies.aljazeera.n [Getty] Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan lands in Beijing on November 3, the latest head of government to seek a renegotiation of commercial terms and/or focus of projects related to China’s infrastructure and energy-driven Belt and Road initiative. He follows in the footsteps of his Malaysian counterpart, Mahathir Mohamad has suspended US$26 billion in Chinese-funded projects; while Myanmar is negotiating a significant scaling back of a Chinese-funded port project on the Bay of Bengal from one that would cost US$ 7.3 billion to a more modest development that would cost US$1.3 billion in a bid to avoid shouldering an unsustainable debt. China has also witnessed pushback and rising anti-Chinese sentiment in countries as far flung as Kazakhstan, Nepal, and Denmark. Khan’s insistence on expanding the focus of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, a US$45 billion plus Belt and Road crown jewel, to include agriculture, manufacturing, and job creation takes on added significance as Pakistan seeks an approximately US$8 billion International Monetary Fund (IMF) bailout to help it avert a financial crisis and discusses with Saudi Arabia investments of up to US$10 billion in investments that would be separate but associated with CPEC. In doing so, Khan is manoeuvring multiple minefields that stretch from likely demands by the International Monetary Fund IMF and the United States for transparency on the financial nuts and bolts of CPEC projects to compliance with requirements of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international anti-money laundering and terrorism finance watchdog that has threatened to blacklist Pakistan, to managing relations with Saudi Arabia at time that the kingdom’s international standing hangs in the balance as a result of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Blotting Email Id: [email protected] of commercial billboards with images of female models is mostly associated with, so called, moral brigades, and the risk is increasing with each passing day in almost every big city of Pakistan. Although these incidents of vandalism were first highlighted around 2006 and 2007 during the „islah (reform) campaign‟ by the Lal Masjid in Islamabad, yet the restriction on the female figures in media can be observed in 1980s and 1990s. Indeed, hoardings with female models have not been displayed in some of the regions, and some of the film posters were also blackened under the pressure of censor board in 1980s.
