What about the SHO's in the media who dictate the state to run and
manage the thing like their will wish. And what about those media
persons who have millions of funds, plots of millions and more than
one or two and living lkie the rulers and the
mafia almost telling the people that they have the chief minister in
their pockets.They come to the press clubs like the lords and some
have owned
the TV channels.Which journalism they are doing by the way. And what
about those dirty channels which are runing the sex industry in the
name of news channels. Talk about those shits in the media.And those
who never pay the wage board to the workers and sack them like a
herds.

@Nasim Sb 

I understand the point you are making and am not averse to the theory that he may very well have been either killed by Ilyas Kashmiri or by members in the ISI/armed forces sympathetic to his cause.

@Sibtain Sb 
I think you have been excessively harsh on Mr. Nasim who has just thrown an alternative possibility to question. 

After reading your comments it appears that you are so drunk in your preconceived view point that you are not even willing to listen to another view!! Hell if per-chance concrete evidence were to be brought before you that Saleem Shehzad (whom I once met while in Daily Star) was indeed killed by the al Qaeda, you would refuse to accept all such evidence. 

Let us not forget that in our conspiracy theories - without credible evidence which implicates ISI or other state actors, you cannot, with 100% surety - or how Rehman Malik says - 98%^surety, say that he was killed by the ISI. 

My 2 cents.

Dear Nasim sahib,

If you dont have enough information pls dont comment on Saleem Shahzad's case. You dont know, how much important he was for the society and how his family and as well as his friends shocked?
Dont mix this case with others, as he was a professional journalist and he has been punished due to his truth.
As you are living in Canada, you must know importance of the journalists in that country?
Do the people in Canada deal the journalists like Pakistan?
May his soul rest in peace! Amin

Dear All:
 
I have seen lots of blames being blown towards ISI. We just forgot about another player of this game. If Saleem Shehzad was going to reveal more about Mehran attack, what about those who attacked? I mean Ilyas Kashmiri or Al Qaeda subsidiaries etc.? Why dont we think about other side of the picture? Afterall they are not innocent birds from heaven! They have done lots of damage and why they would care for Saleem if he was going to unveil the culprits

Great comments all around.  Freedom of speech is not absolute, and extra-judicial murders are abhorrent to civilisation itself.

The fourth estate has a watchdog role -- what the public should be aware of in order to make rational decisions about their lives and their leaders.  When the powerful start to deceive, the truth should be known.  Even then, operational details and names are hidden, even by Wikileaks.  In fact, Wikileaks was a phenomenon due to Western media becoming too cosy to power, a fact that has since been acknowledged, even by the New York Times.  

The New York Times declares boldly 'All the news that's fit to print' with the clear realisation that there is news that is not fit to print.

Intelligence agencies carry out tit-for-tat operations to keep us OUT of war -- it shows the intelligence level and operational readiness of the other side without going into full-scale war.  KGB-CIA shenanigans kept the Cold War cold.  All intelligence agencies fund and keep militant organisations to do their dirty work.  ISI is very good at what it does, and is an intelligence agency worthy of a nuclear power, and necessary for such a power.  Again, some dirty games of intelligence agencies keep us out of full-blown war.  They keep the American and Indian agencies in their place.  They are not angels, and we would not want them to be either.

The ISI, as part of the government, should be held accountable by the media, but its operational details should not be relieved.  The most a journalist should do in such situations when he/she feels that a broader principle may be compromised is to go abstract and outline the principle at stake.  A golden rule -- how would a US reporter write about the CIA, or the Hindustan Times about RAW?

Operational details are just titillating details that have no purpose in educating the public.  While Saleem was a great reporter, and he laid bare an issue, which Ghaznvi has discussed here (http://www.qern.org/en/rapidly-changing-al-qaeda-endgame-pakistan-0), his crossing the line may have left not choice for the people who regularly put their lives on the line for us.  Still, if it was the ISI, it was wrong.

It is a delicate balancing act.

Akber

 Dear Saleem sahib

 
I was compelled to write after reading your angry comment on the Pakistani media and the provocative  suggestion PLEASE GO BACK AND LEARN WHAT IS JOURNALISM.... my first reaction was at last! At last there is evidence of life within media and all have not been subsumed by issues of employment and getting on in media! I thank you for this.
 
As a senior journalist who worked with a prominent English language daily for a good 4.5 years and because of my personal love for the profession, I encouraged, trained and discussed written work with journalists who were talented and creative. But, I found suddenly post 2006, with the new channels hitting the airwaves and new entrants in the publishing and broadcasting world, that a new animal disguised under the label "journalism" had taken over the profession.
 
Indeed a new life-form had evolved away from what was considered good reportage, a cross comparison and verification of fact which more or less stuck with conservative truth rather than flamboyance, shock and horror and outright abuse of all the values that are associated with a noble but traditionally ill-paid profession.
 
Journalism was the new vogue in "isms" and anyone who could pretend at being bilingual in media speak threw in their hat into the ring.
 
Today more than 4 years down the road, we have actors straight off the Pakistani circus line up for a media job, posing as news anchors and so-called articulate moderators of topical shows. They do Breakfast Shows, ill researched Lifestyle weeklies and opinion forming situationers with "experts" in strategy, diplomacy, bureaucracy and so on but without the technique to interrogate or facilitate discussion. Much of the time it is without the relevent editorial vetting procedures or responsibility that comes with programme control and management. Suddenly wannabe models are starlets, image and the flamboyance of awesome attire and jewels, suits and ties included, are wrapped in with the attempt at being suitably serious when not screaming and shouting above the melee of panel guests.
 
Are there, I ask (with all due respect and courtesy) our media brethren and my fellow senior professional colleagues any standards? That, over the years - despite publishers' stronghold on recruitment -  have they done anything or grouped together to form:
 

a)     Media council comprised of experienced and senior journalists, media managers who have a background in media ethics and quality. In the UK this body is the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) which oversees standards, covering the required courses and if someone lacks sufficient training then it is provided through an institute approved by the Council

 

b)     Put in place any vetting procedures or instruments to ascertain that an intern or certain media person has now passed the desired training and obtained necessary professional experience to apply for a "media card" or certification by another name which in turn is professional requirement to get a job in publishing, broadcasting or related media work? Or even a Union Membership. In the acting world, Actors to get ahead must be members of Equity and card-holders to prove their credentials.

 

c)     Other than attending journalism or media courses at university many get into media with just that or whom they know. However the practical is not the same as the theory. So what about on the job training that instils what to do and what is a complete 'no-no' in this profession? This can only be assessed by the experience of those charged with the task be they editors, programme controllers and veteran media folk.. so do we have a body that awards certification to practice  e.g. like dental hygenists, beauticians, lawyers and medical personnel so while you may know everything in theory but in practice we must indeed follow a set procedure that gives both knowledge and technical knowhow?

 
We have instead a so-called FREE MEDIA, which roughly translated, means powerful media owners can hire and fire without external interference of journalistic competence or requirement because someone's son or daughter wants to get into media...or because its a pretty face (male or female) and can yabber away on air to hold an audience captive and so the ratings can be sustained. Ratings give neither substance  or quality control. In turn these overnight wonders become household names
I can name several here but will not as the issue here is not criticism but how do we get professionalism with quality.
 
Not everyone can become a Christianne Amanpour, Zeinab Badawi, Stephen Sackur, Riz Khan, Oprah Winfrey, David Frost, Sandy Gall. The context of course is different. These are western journalists who have had extensive formal training and experience – BBC, Reuters, CNN, etc., and who are well profiled on the world stage but each one has excelled in adhering to journalistic methods, received technique and a certain modulated modesty in their public interactions. In Pakistan, yes, the media is young and the relevant experience or context not available unless you get it in the course of your work. We have trained journalists like Hamid Mir, Talat Hussein, Quatrina Hussein and non journalist entrants like Ayesha Tammy Haq and then come the long list of 'others', previous academics and political analysts who are suddenly staking their claim to fame. However I am sure you will agree that it is very easy to distinguish a professional from the arrivistes who are there just because…
 
But unless, the system of selection of media personnel is revised and formalised so that set criteria and acceptable industry standards are set and complied with, we will carry on ad-libbing like some mad comedy of errors script to continually make fools of ourselves and what we put out in terms of Pakistan on the international media stage. Ultimately it does impact on how we are perceived and Pakistan's capabilities and image.
 
I trust my comments will be received positively

*MEDIA ON DANGEROUS AGENDA*

Whether it is Osama bin laden, war or terror, foreign threats or drone
strikes, certain pakistani news channels (especially Samaa) are not bothered
about these issues. These are not issues in their perspective. Just watch
Samaa tv news agenda and my claim will be easily proven. These channel are
knowingly ignoring the issues faced by this country. They are purposely
showing ridiculous things. What are these channels trying to show? Do they
want our nation to forget real issues? Looks like they want the nation to
think about dating, bollywood movies, fashion, trends, mockery of Islam,
husband wife petty disputes, and different types of dances and music. What
are these morning shows (Maya khan) about? Sex, marriage drama or ridiculing
cultural and religious norms? Is this is left to discuss in a poverty and
terrorism ridden country like Pakistan? Do they have the right to destroy
national integrity? This is shameful and criminal. Their agenda should be
uncovered as well as the funding. They are mocking and ridiculing Pakistan
not the government but Pakistan as a state. There are no journalistic rules
applied in their news agenda. I mean there is literally fabrication of news
reports and even perform drama. PLEASE GO BACK AND LEARN WHAT IS JOURNALISM.
All sort of music runs behind reports on serious issues. They are destroying
national fabric. Their agenda must be uncovered.

MAHAR INVITES FRENCH PARTICIPATION IN OGDCL E BONDS

 

Islamabad, June 8, 2011

 

Mr. Ghous Bux Khan Mahar Federal Minister for Privatisation has invited French Business Groups to participate in the upcoming monetizing of upto 10% of GoP shareholding in OGDCL via an Exchangeable Bonds. The Minister extended this invitation to the French Ambassador to Pakistan Mr. Daniel Jouanneau in a meeting here today.

 

The Minister said that the OGDCL transaction was backed by sovereign guarantee by the Government of Pakistan while there also existed huge potential for French companies to participate in the privatisation process of power generation, distribution companies and other entities.

 

He underlined the need for exchange of business groups' delegations of both the countries for a better understanding of the investment opportunities in both the green and brown fields sectors and to bring in new French business groups for participating in Oil & Gas, Transport, Financial and other sectors. The real potential for doing business in Pakistan could only be projected through interaction with the French groups, he added.

 

The French envoy to Pakistan Mr. Daniel Jouanneau informed the Minister that the French companies including TOTAL, Hyperstar and Sanofi (medicine manufacturers) already working in Pakistan have developed plans to reinvest in Pakistan, which was an encouraging signal and added that the recent visit of democratically elected Prime Minister of Pakistan Mr. Yusuf Raza Gilani to France was well received and has ushered a new era of bilateral relations to promote Pakistan in French business community, which would generate business activity between the private sectors of both the countries and further strengthen the economic bonds.

 

The envoy further said that French business groups were keen to participate in Pakistan's energy, water and agriculture sectors while the Pakistan-France Business Council was progressing satisfactorily and he invited the Minister for participation in a seminar being organized on Railways shortly. Mr. Shahid Hussain Raja Secretary Privatisation and other senior officials were also present in the meeting.
