The documentary media nama aab or tab presented by our class mates is a good way to show today’s youth the transformation of media from the past years.
It tells us that the news previously was aired on the channels as a part of the channel for a set limited time to the news people. Today, there are separate news channels that broadcast news 24/7 and include every bit of what is going on in the country and internationally.
Earlier, the news broadcast was based on the government related issues and the government was given due respect and high status and was often biased. Today, the news channels broadcast news in a totally different way than earlier. They add songs to the kind of news that is being shown, add visuals that are animated etc.
In this way, the news becomes more of an entertainment for people rather than having updates of the country. In 63 years, the number of channels has increased and way of broadcasting news has drastically changed.
Earlier, the media showed entertainment which were in social and ethical boundaries. The issues discussed in programs were with due respect to our people as a nation. Today, our media shows all kinds of entertainment attached with vulgarity and have crossed a lot of boundaries too.
Earlier, the news of terrorism was not given much of importance and people were not horrified by watching news channels. Today, our media shows cut body pieces and intense violence on TV which scares the audience at large.
The youth of Pakistan must take a step ahead and work towards the betterment of our nation specially our media in order to have a peaceful and safe and secured media in future.
