Karachi, June 17, 2022 (PPI-OT):The APNS expresses its profound concern on the news item appeared in a section of press wherein it has been stated that the Federal Government in the garb of austerity measures, have decided to discontinue purchase of newspapers and magazines for the offices of the Federal Government ministries, departments, autonomous and semi-autonomous bodies.

Sarmad Ali, President and Nazafreen Saigol Lakhani, Secretary General of the All Pakistan Newspapers Society have stated that the above decision has sounded a death knell to the newspaper industry struggling for survival in the present bleak economic environment. It was an ill-advised as well as a true description of a penny-wise pound-foolish measure. The APNS Office Bearers stated that the decision, if implemented, would have devastating impact on the liquidity conditions of already crisis ridden newspaper industry and would badly reflect on the relations between the present Unity Government and the media.

The APNS Office Bearers have requested the Prime Minister, Mian Shahbaz Sharif to review and withdraw such anti-media moves which would only save some peanuts but would be highly counter productive for press – government relations and survival of print media.

Karachi, June 05, 2022 (PPI-OT):In a joint statement issued today the Pakistan Broadcasters Association (PBA) and the All Pakistan Newspapers Society (APNS) strongly condemned the utterly Fake, malicious and baseless propaganda being spread by some PTI leaders aimed at maligning the county’s media. The statement stated that Mr. Fawad Chaudhry, Mr. Shahbaz Gill and Mr. Hammad Azhar continue to spread Fake news aimed at earning cheap publicity at the expense of the media. Through the joint statement the two media representative organisations warned that if these PTI leaders do not stop their malafide campaign against the media, the media bodies will exercise their constitutional rights and file defamation proceedings against them in the court of law.

The joint statement also lamented the mischievous campaign on social media being run by them giving grossly exaggerated volume of advertising and linking it to and questioning media’s integrity. PBA and APNS urged former Prime Minister, Imran Khan to take strong action against his party leaders who are responsible for spreading fake news and thus bringing him and PTI in disrepute.
