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. -

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Studies The University of Birmingham May 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.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. -
