A unique form of DICTATORSHIP in Pakistan.

Why would you pay so much for these services specially when you have other platforms.

Namely....

Different reports coming out everyday, don't know who to believe..

So second point of my question was why does govt stops these?

The government is under an austerity drive...The noise you hear is exaggerated. If the media companies are facing a rough time they can go for credit lines, equity offers, but they won't. Media companies fear facing scrutiny of their financials, salaries that are paid out, the funding they receive for journalism in a developing country.

So could u plz elaborate the difference between the business model of Geo n Ary or samma, meaning thereby the business model of channels having symphaties 4 n league n of channels having symphaties 4 pti?

N plz also mention those anchors who r openly considered symphatizer of pti n r laid off?

Bcz if all of u answer me some questions then really i can reply ur questions as all of u, more or less, raised same pattern of questions.

Who do you think I am? The tax office or the accountant for all the media channels? If these were British companies you could view thier accounts online, but I don't know if Pakistan has the same system of financial transparency.

- Anti-state papers with unsustainable business model intentionally fire anti-govt journalists

- Claims they are dying and forced to censor by evil PTI government

- Provide zero proof, arguments, or change in strategy, and therefore have no sympathy from the public

- Cry about being in a dictatorship

This is literally it, rinse and repeat; and every now and again they do some big drama like selling pakora on the street

So who really u r 2 create an opinion that only those channels who r against PTIr dependent n in dire need of govt ads while those in favor just can survive without govt ads?

So who really u r 2 think that these layoffs don't bear Political enmity?
So who really u r 2 think that govt stoppage of ads is just purely Economic in sense?

are you part of the band of jurnos that are about to be sacked? seems like it! Media are not holy bovine. They will have to fall into rules, regulations and work under rule of law like everyone else.

Hhhhaaa

I m just the person who have the guts 2 apprise the ppl that how much flawed their arguments r...

 

[koolio]

Apart from PTV which is state owned TV station, why does every channel have to rely on government funds to keep it going, usually private media channels are responsible for thier own income which is usually generated from private advertisements and viewership.

 

[Maxpane]

Media is out of money and they are acting like mad dog instead of focusing to change their model of business

I'm not a typical conspiracy theory nut job Patwari.

Right now our country is spending more money than it makes, that is why we are in financial tatti. It needs to both make more money and spend less Money. TV adverts as government propaganda is a waste of taxpayer money.

Secondly the state already owns a channel (PTV) where they can do advertising for free. Thirdly this government regularly is tweeting about policies from official accounts. Finally the government is regularly doing press conferences and interviews to broadcast its achievements.

What I said was not a proposal but an observation of actual strategy currently being implemented by the government.

As for jobs being lost. Firstly we are in a capitalist world and part of the free market economy. Any business is responsible for its own profits not the taxpayer. There is the basic law of supply and demand. If previous governments were stupid enough to pay billions of rupees a year to bribe the media than that is thier shortcoming. This government has better sense, they will not supply cash, because they don't need lifafa journalists.

If people want to make money they should get a real job. Become a doctor, lawyer, engineer, work in finance or IT, there will be plenty of work. If you study journalism and art and your job is gossiping like a bad woman, then you can't expect it to last forever. The journalists who have lost thier jobs can eat from the lifafas of haram money they earned.

The job cuts are non political. They are supply and demand.

No you're not. You just like conspiracy theories. Stop watching Pakistani news channels. Go live in the west for 5 years and observe how the real world works.
