It is possible to control media but there must be person of authority who can crush all these fake & bad reputed, anti state media. Simply saying that to control media in our case not real. I don't think if in Pakistan there will be possibility to take action against media.
Rules & regulations, codes of conduct, specifications of media's job description are applied only for a month and then all is forgotten till next big scandal disturbing government's policies, after then again ban & again permission. This is what going on in our country.
In many issues media played destructive role on behalf of their foreign financiers, exaggerating national issues at level where not should be, Balochistan, Karachi, reporting style of tragedies, ethnic issues with over reporting, un professional attitude towards social & political matters, we can observe in our media.
Standard of print media, so tell me what quality news you can get from NEWS FOR 1 RUPEE OR 2 RUPEES?
Quantity decreases quality of press so what strategy can adopt a new established press in seek of high rate of selling? Yes, fake stories, conspiracies, yellow type news (yellow journalism), fabricated material and cost effective rate, result is miss information, ignorance from reality, generation of panic situation among people, frightening simple citizen for no reasons, divert people attention toward sensitive issues where people has not to discuss or think or giving classified information which could harm security matters & safety measures . Only to stood first in publishing news, press is ready to do everything not important how it useful for national cause or not & not important how it can harm country status on international level.
Foreign media representatives in Pakistan exactly whom we can say real threat for national cause in international community as their reports surely based over particular agenda so these representatives must be linked to government controlled press agencies to make surety that nothing beyond state policy transferred to international media through these representatives.
Moreover all national media correspondent’s inbound & outbound news must be filtered through government’s special representatives in major press organizations where for quality news there should be reduction in issuing licenses or terminate 50% news agencies which could not fulfill state information policies or regulations.
Same procedures for multimedia channels, bring all problematic channels under strict control, where no channel is permitted rights to broadcast from outside country and all should work existing in country otherwise ban them.
Free journalism phenomena is nothing but BS, no need to give such freedom whose results put rope in our neck and whose control indirectly in foreign hands.
Once you get control over domestic media then it is not so hard to control world media reporting in press, multimedia, internet sources, but we have to understand also that 100% control is not achievable therefore more than 70% control we can get. Pakistan needs this control over world media.
