Jang Group, one of the pioneers of modern journalism in sub-continent and the most successful one. But for last several years its Urdu wing has gone crazy.
I remember the ‘highlights’ section of Sept 11, 2001 when it says ‘50,000 halaaqaton ka khadshaa’ OK fine, at a very busy time there could be that number of people in twin towers (however in journalism you always provide an educated guess or conservative estimate to minimize the false speculations, unless you are a tabloid or Evening Special), but alongside there was the biggest blow of the century for journalism, the news script said ‘hazaaron laashein nikaali ja chukien’. I mean come on, everyone knows for next 36 hours they couldn’t even go near the burning inferno, let alone retrieving bodies from the rubble.
I had to write about it for the longest time, it shows that top media giant is acting like a tabloid what can we say about standard of others.
A fresh example is this news. You can find this news everywhere, I am posting the latest update from cbc.ca

As many as 15 young people were involved in a wild shooting spree that killed a teenage girl and injured six others in a packed downtown Toronto area on the busiest shopping day of the year, police said Tuesday.
And then the same news in Jang. :mad: I am posting the english version of it from The News.
5 killed in Toronto shooting
(Updated at 0945 PST)
TORONTO: Two gunmen shot at least five people on a busy Toronto street crowded with hundreds of post-Christmas shoppers, police said.
One person was killed and the others were taken to hospital after the shooting on Monday on bustling Yonge Street near the popular Eaton Centre shopping mall.
Two suspects were arrested and at least one firearm was seized a short time later at a nearby subway station, police said.
Police did not immediately say if the victims were targeted or if they were hit by random gunfire.
I don’t know if it was the reporters fault or the typists in Jang office are also on crack.
