“Most of the big media houses did not even dare to publish the advertisement data issued by the government yesterday,” he stressed.


Islamabad: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain Thursday said that media accountability should be part of the reform agenda.
On his official twitter handle, the federal minister said that journalism in Pakistan was mainly controlled by media tycoons.
“Most of the big media houses did not even dare to publish the advertisement data issued by the government yesterday,” he stressed.
Fawad added that in the name of freedom of expression, “blackmailing forts” have been built which must be demolished.
ہماری صحافت پر بنیادی طور پر میڈیا سیٹھوں کا کنٹرول ہے پڑے گروپس نے کل اشتہارات کا ڈیٹا چھاپنے کی جراࣿت تک نہیں کی، میڈیا کی آزادی کے نام پر بلیک میلنگ کے قلعے تعمیر ہو گئے ہیں جن کو مسمار کرنا پاکستان کیلئے لازم ہے، سیاسی اصلاحات کے ایجنڈے میں میڈیا کا احتساب لازمی ہونا چاہئے
