Karachi, January 17, 2022 (PPI-OT):Media Associations APNS, CPNE, and PBA have issued a statement taking serious notice of Information Minister Fawad Chaudhary’s tweet about media revenues and dismissed figures quoted by him as baseless and completely incorrect. Subsequently, the original source also clarified that the figures were printed erroneously due to a technical error.

The joint statement called the information minister’s tweet a classic example of fake news and an attempt to create a divide between media houses and workers. The statement went on to specifically point out how the minister himself is spreading false news. He has only exposed his own ignorance about the matter and also how ill-informed his ministry is.

The statement also demanded that the minister withdraw his tweet immediately. Issued on behalf of All Pakistan Newspapers society, Council of Pakistan Newspapers editors and Pakistan broadcasters Association.

Karachi, January 01, 2022 (PPI-OT): The All Pakistan Newspapers Society (APNS) expresses its dismay over the Order of the Islamabad High Court indicting media persons relating to Jang Group in a contempt of court case. The All Pakistan Newspapers Society in a statement, has stated that the above Order of the Court, would impact on the existing state of beleaguered freedom of press and would discourage journalists from reporting on matters in public interest. It reiterated that the reporting a story which was not denied, would not damage the respect of the court but framing charges against the journalists would tantamount to suppress the “Freedom of Expression” and denial of “Peoples Right to Know”.

The journalists indicted for charges of contempt of court, have reported the matter in performance of their professional duty to highlight the facts in the public interest with no malafide intention. The APNS has appealed to the Islamabad High Court to drop the contempt proceeding against the journalists for publishing a verified statement which was based on internationally accepted norms, ethics and journalistic standards.
