Pakistani Media revival

In Past the responsibility of the Pakistani media, particularly television channels was significantly central during the general elections in Pakistan February 2008.

Earlier than the general elections, there was a dictatorship rule of Gen Parvez Musharraf. He unchained the electronic media to the level he could. During his tenure many new television channels popped up. And this is what he had been praising himself of.

But luckily or unluckily, this autonomy boomerang on him. The lately aired channels held talk-shows all along with the hourly news bulletins. And the subject of the talk-shows used to be the current and established political state of affairs.

 An analysis was performed in 2007. And the outcome was astonishing. It was screening that the talk-shows were being observed with more importance than dramas or any other amusement/entertainment series. The boost in talk-shows’ audience shows towards a fashion in the Pakistani society. The new trend in Pakistani media was a new stage that puts them that they are more concerned and by the support of the nation they decided to show their power in whatever matter which is concerning.

 On commanding emergency in November 2007, Gen Musharraf told his American friends that the Pakistanis were not able sufficient to have a independent system carrying out in their country. They required a long time to study the democratic values. They were still in a learning stage.

 The end result of the general elections simply reverse the theory of the Gen. Not only the nullification was a hinder to the Gen, he had to accept a farewell guard of honor and had to quit the presidency exaltation a practical consequence.

 The problem is: why couldn't the Gen verify what he stated of his people in Nov 2007? And another query, which should be taken as an extension or the other facet of the preceding query i.e. what proved the Gen off beam, forced him to give up and how at all did it all happen?

The reason to all aforementioned queries was that our nation needed a change and through talk shows which discussed the current matters in an unbiased approach won the hearts of the nation, who were earlier deprived by watching the same tone news over and over again.

The role of media has been deliberately great which aware the nation continuously over serious matters, like the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the General elections, the government challenges, the long marches, crisis in Pakistan and many other matters. And it’s just not through television it’s through social media too, through which the people share their views about a particular matter which was however difficult through television.
