Re: Media freedom vs Protecting the public interest
It shouldnt even be from the government perhaps. That is too often the invitation for the government to curb the media for its own reasons that have nothing to do with the public good.
Pakistan needs a Ralph Nader. Consumer advocacy NGOs that take on these media corporations and keep them honest when it comes to safeguarding the public good.
And yes the minimum responsibility atleast of these media orgs is that if they must cater to the the market for this nonsense, advise beforehand that this is a crock.
