The general perception of most journalists is that in Freedom of Media there is no restriction. My belief is different in this regard. Want views of the Mass Media researchers here.
Freedom of media does not negate social responsibility and accountability but unfortunately media gurus think that they are above all morality decency and accountability.Although we are signatory of UNESCO media rules and guidelines and PEMRA rules respectively,I endorse Sahifa by saying that morality,decency,responsibility and accountability are integral components of Media freedom.
Yes Ill go with Mian Jawed sb, media freedom does not negate social responsibility and accountability but media owners manipulating all these for some specific objectives. Freedom doesnot mean to attack anybody's personal life or pinching religious views of any group. This is all about morality and decency that how beautifully media discuss issues without harming any one.
in our society (sorry to say) we are just unaware of the words like "responsibility and accountability". we only know "Rights" n forget the "duties". same is the case with our media.
