MEDIA
MQM believes in the
independence of the press and is opposed to all such policies
which impede the freedom of press and news media. The
independence of the press and media is one of the indispensable
elements for the development of a democratic society. MQM
believes in positive and constructive journalism and wishes to
see the Press free from all governmental and non-governmental
shackles and restrictions. MQM also wants to see the standard of
living of journalists to improve along with other people in
Pakistan. MQM is totally against yellow journalism and wants the
journalists of the country to form an independent commission
which would effectively eliminate the curse of yellow journalism
from the country.
MQM is against government control of the media and wants radio and television to be freed from government control. These institutions should be represented as the voice of the people and not the State or the Government. These institutions should play their role in reporting correctly, prepare the people ideologically, and encourage them to form their own opinions.
