RAPE OF PROFESSIONALISM IN MEDIA

From: qamar ullah <mqamarullah@gmail.com>







Without endorsing the act of these journalists who slipped into USA or staying anywhere illegally, I wonder why you are so0 interested in collect6ing such a data? Obviously when the journalists will be paid so low and they will be dep-riv4d of salarie4s for months after months and the owners will co0ntinue to exploit the poor photographers and journalists, what else you can exp-ect from them?

They are no journalists, they were once upon a time but no more...so forget them and let them live their own lives !!!

Take care

I am just trying to jump into this discussion again and want to know from our Pakistani journalist’s opinion on the issue of professionalism, ethics and code of conduct.

I know from Peshawar to many journalists who after getting visa as journalists or accompanying any US delegation slipped in to United States leaving a bunch of embarrassment for our Pakistani brothers and I am announcing the launch of blog on these rotten eggs who are earning bad name for Pakistan. I know Jahangir Khattak Senior Journalist and leader of Khyber Union of Journalists, Syed Haider Shah photographer of Daily News International and also worked as photographer with top international media Syed Fakhr e Alam Staff reporter of Daily The Muslim, Faisal Qazi owner and Chief Editor of Daily Khyber Mail, Babar Majeed photographer, Asif dar brother of senior Editor Ashraf Dar, Bureau Chief of ANN Saeed iqbal Hashmi and too many others slipped in US and Europe. Pakistani journalists are still using their profession as a stepping stone and slipping in US. I don’t know weather it is professional and ethical or not but I am collecting data of such journalists at my blog http://pressreviewofpakistan.blogspot.com/ if you have any details of such people who are earning bad name for Pakistan pl do post your information

I fully endorse Tazeen Akhtar's point of view and analysis of these

so-called shows and their presenters.

" EVERY JOURNALIST CAN BE AN ANCHOR BUT EVERY ANCHOR CAN'T BE A JOURNALIST".

One can easity detect the depth of knowledge of an anchor on the topic

he show.

As late Sheikh Sa'adi says;-

Ta mard sukhan na gufta bashid

aaeb-o-hunerish nahufta bashid

As and when most of them inaugurate the show, their grip on the topic

could easily be detected.

Anyway I wish them all the success as they are the currency of today's

media market and the show must go on until something big happens.

Most of them love to have cock-fight on their shows but don't care the

problems ordinary person is facing.

Visa Seeker Pakistani Journalists

I want to draw the attention of patriot Pakistanis about a menace and need attention of senior journalists about the misuse of media profession by some individuals. We have no concern if Pakistani journalists join media organizations in Europe and United States but after getting visa on journalist’s grounds they work on gas station and dish washers. I want to know from our Pakistani journalist’s opinion on the issue of professionalism, ethics and code of conduct.
I know from Peshawar to many journalists who after getting visa as journalists or accompanying any US delegation slipped in to United States leaving a bunch of embarrassment for our Pakistani brothers and I am announcing the launch of blog on these rotten eggs who are earning bad name for Pakistan. I know Jahangir Khattak Senior Journalist and leader of Khyber Union of Journalists, Syed Haider Shah photographer of Daily News International and also worked as photographer with top international media Syed Fakhr e Alam Staff reporter of Daily The Muslim, Faisal Qazi owner and Chief Editor of Daily Khyber Mail, Babar Majeed photographer, Asif dar brother of senior Editor Ashraf Dar, Bureau Chief of ANN Saeed iqbal Hashmi and too many others slipped in US and Europe. Pakistani journalists are still using their profession as a stepping stone and slipping in US. I don’t know weather it is professional and ethical or not but I am collecting data of such journalists at my blog http://pressreviewofpakistan.blogspot.com/ if you have any details of such people who are earning bad name for Pakistan pl do post your information
