When we talk about dissemination of information & entertainment. Mass media can be the best answer, but however if we see the broader aspect of media, we came to know that media is not all about informing & entertaining people. The time is arrived where the collective strength of any nation can be judged from its media strength. So as a matter of fact the passion for power of any nation is not just by getting stronger in military terms but also from the factor of media strength these days.

The reason I didn’t choose journalism as a full time profession after getting a degree in mass communication is still not revealed in this blog. So let me put some facts in front of you. It is however worth saying that electronic media in the recent few years got extensive boom & a number of TV channels entered Pakistani media circle. But however on the other hand majority practicle journalists is still unable to get the fruit of this development. I personally witness many of my talented batch fellows who after getting 1st class masters degree & junior English courses can’t even managed to cover their own expenditures while working as a reporter at well known English daily. Infect this is the great mockery with graduates that when they join their careers, simultaneously they face problems regarding compensation. It is truth that a large number of journalist in Pakistan are predominantly unpaid, the main problem that journalist community face is financial. On the other hand job insecurity & lack of freedom to report & publish information makes this profession more difficult for fresh graduates. So the output is they prefer to do any other job in the market.

Now the question is how many of the unpaid or low paid journalist meets their expenses? This is the question no body can answer exactly but i can make an orgument about it. Infact there is a silent group of people (Politicians, industralists, foreign spys etc) who exist behind the journalist community, they bribe them time to time & make them use for their own deeds. This un balanced & premature media often present biased facts, this is obvious in situations when there are corruptions at different levels. So i concluded here that in one hand the journalist in pakistan didn’t have any job security & financial strength when it came to compensation, while on the other hand he can enjoy a portfolio with the power to make or destroy images & can made mansion from their undisclosed income if they want.
