KARACHI: This is with reference to M Bilal Lakhani’s article of February 13 titled “News coverage: Why must it be positive?”
The media has the power to alter and shape public opinion, and this function can become even more important in a country like Pakistan. Thus, being neutral is key, however, the media is largely not objective in its news coverage. Furthermore, when journalists or even television anchors/talk show hosts engage in criticism, they should, at the very least, offer some solutions and suggestions.
