should media Be Trialed????




Should media be trailed that is the question which arises in the Mind of the peoples of pakistan and subcontinent.People’s response was a tight slap on the face of the some group of electronic media people who were desperately trying to arm media with a new function ’Media Trial. Is there any need to mount pressure on Judiciary or influence the judicial system by creating hype in any case? According to the constitution of Pakistan, the judiciary has the power to decide who is culprit in any matter and to the punish offenders through the due process of law.
Recourses the media cannot and should not influence the judiciary in any case. Media, by presenting the both sides of the coin, may build pressure on the administration to look into the matter with honesty. How can media decide who is victim and who is accused.
The media must not claim of being a hope for justice in the country when it cannot get its facts right. We all know what reporter says is not always the truth.
Now, if we believe on media reports, the lot of History of Pakistan and subcontinent may be changed. Is not it….
This may be said that the judiciary is over-burdened and it is in a horrible state but the media no way can fill in. The media is giving mega-publicity to the riots by using words like genocide. This can be said as a practice to add fuel in the fire. Media is not meant for doing any kind of trial but to present the truth to the public and administration in some cases. Some people may say that because of media hype, justice delivered in some cases. But, it doesn’t happen all the time. We don’t need media trials
