Re: Ex-policeman caught for assisting hit men
Electronic media which is at bigger risk and had been a clear victim of MQM’s thuggery and violence in the past has started to loosen up the chains of fear and openly mention MQM when necessary. But if print media - especially websites like Dawn - continue to impose self censorship then they lose the right to be called a trustworthy news outlet. Such examples only prove the point that print media has serious credibility issues in Pakistan and why its readership is on speedy decline. They simply cannot compete with electronic media’s ‘see it as it happened’ approach,Talk Shows and the whole breaking news culture.
Dawn is one agenda heavy ‘newspaper’. Maybe instead of recycling yawn inducing columns and blogs on handful of boring topics and themes, they need to hire proper journalist staff to report real news from every part of Pakistan with minimum editorial tempering.
