Media Influence on Youth

Our media is exhibiting foreign and Indian films without any substantial censorship policy. Many Pakistani private channels are telecasting foreign and Indian films, festivals & shows. Now our channels start producing and arranging such musical and dance shows by following their footsteps in which boys and girls dance together and wearing nude dresses. With emergence of these channels, the whole media industry has been commercialized. It gains popularity as time passed. Our social values are changing slowly and steadily. The results of surveys prove that due to increase and explosive growth of cable & satellite transmissions, affects the youth of Pakistan especially by changing their thoughts, minds, beliefs, cultural values and daily life style. I request media representatives to take appropriate measures to handle this worst situation and make media policy followed by all channels. Our youth is an asset and future of ours so we pay special attention on youth. To minimize and resist the effects of foreign channels, it is suggested that our channels should be strengthened and telecast programs with better content. Our channels should produce and broadcast quality programs that could help in the promotion of Pakistani values and traditions and improve the image of Pakistan at international level.
