Re: state of emergency
so unnamed sources as a rule arent automatically suspect in journalism.
you may have valid broader issues with Pakistani journalism but your post seemed to suggest unnamed sources are waayyy out of the norm for a journalist.
actually when pakistani journalist use unnamed sources, they never give the opinion of the person who happens to be the subject of the story. alternate views are important for reader to judge whether unnamed source is telling the truth. motivation of unnamed sources is always a question. source can be acting out of personal grudge or because of idealogical reason. source could also be taking money from opponents. these things are common in pak.
