Despite tough economic situation, priority of TV talk shows is politics

In modern and current conditions, media can write story of rise and fall of any nation, media can play an important role in economic and social development with its positive power, but according to the latest Gallup and Gilani survey, Pakistanis in last few months News channels did not focus on the country’s biggest issue “Economy” as much as it needed to.

According to a message shared on social networking website Twitter, “According to a Gallup survey, only 11 percent of Pakistan news channels’ shows discussed inflation, Pakistan’s biggest issue, or were either selling politics or Then the issue was directly discussed in the shows.”

As mentioned above, the media can play an important role in economic and social development through its positive thinking, but if we analyze the Gallup and Gilani survey, everything seems to be smoke.

The issue which has become a threat to the existence of Pakistan i.e. the economy has not been focused on by the channels in the way it should be, i.e. it is the priority of our TV channels.

In any country, media is considered as the fourth pillar which can make or break the government, but watching the shows, it seems that the TV channels are playing the role of B-team of the political parties, all of the country.

In the eyes of the leadership of PTI, the biggest political party, the same journalist is the journalist who is the bully of their government and its biggest opposition party, PML-N, has a similar position.

Analysts say that if the country’s economy is to be brought back to the right track, all the stakeholders, including the media, have to sit at one table and come up with a positive plan to solve the problem, otherwise the situation like Sri Lanka is not far away. are
