Media anchors and their Education (do they even deserve to give bhasahan on tv)

[umer amin]

Not even one anchor who has some extra ordinary qualification. some are having masters in mass communications or political science and for most of them there is no data or record about their qualification.

Question is how come they can give bhashan on
1: defence, 2: Trade, 3: foreign policy, 4: Economy, etc
we need to put leash or they will keep barking like mad dogs.

Pakistani universities have been producing over half a million graduates, including over 10,000 IT graduates, every year since 2010, according to HEC data. The number of university graduates in Pakistan increased from 380,773 in 2005-6 to 493,993 in 2008-09.

Yes.

Like what happened to Akram Sheikh --- start freezing their accounts and start doing forensic audits of their bank accounts and whatever wealth they have accumulated from the day they joined their service in these media outlets.

Bhai we can say they are not performing professionally or they were distracted by the previous governments and majority of them turned into LIFAFA journalist, if some one is having fake degree he /she should be questioned, but having Masters in Journalism or political science in not ordinary education, that's why it is called MASTER. They are supposed to know better than an ordinary person or better about politics that any Master of other subject.

In the assemblies are a big number of people with fake degrees. First of all correct this. The only qualification you need in Pakistan in all fields is the 'gift of gab'. Just dress well and talk nonsense with confidence. No one can stop your progress. Having come across many people with degrees in their respective fields and after a serious conversation you get the feeling that you are wasting your time and are not getting the info you need. The whole system of education has rotted completely. Learning by rote without understanding has become the norm. To start remodelling Pakistan first and foremost you have to overhaul the whole education system. The only positive outcome from the media is that the anchors/hosts/analysts are exposing themselves. The best example is the 'mujj' clad in a sari who is an expert on everything in Pakistan but does not know where Afghanistan finishes and Pakistan begins

 

[amoxil500mg]

some got master degree they mentioned in their profile fair enough.
Most of them got profile career etc but education is unknown why???

 

[Insight]

Can you tell me any country where you have so many genious and brilliant minds in the form of Anchors and so called " Seniour Analyat", in Pakistan we have these Analysts and Anchors in abundance.

Is there any way we can export them to other countries and generate some revenue ?

پھر تو رانا ثناءاللہ پاکستان کا سب سے بڑا جرنلسٹ نکلا، کیونکہ
جو نواجہ لوہار چھپانا چاہ رہا تھا، اُس غلیظ درباری نے پورے پاکستان میں وہ خبر پھیلا دی تھی

 

[Eyeaan]

Oh, Orwell again! Well educated journalists are more organized and methodological for serving the ruling classes or the state. They are better equipped to convince and deceive the public. Isn't it!
Regarding Orwellian state, the real issue is not who are the journalists but who owns them and controls information channels.

However, for Pak media, education becomes an issue for journalist's lack of basic comprehension of the subject and informed opinion, and for their plain cheating and lying to the public. Most are neither qualified nor have political convictions and depth to become a proper propaganda machine except to be a permanent headache and pain.

Jugat baaz or Jumla baaz quom ke danishwar bhi inhi kamoon main mahir hongain.
Another thing is the 'Dr' anchors. Moeed Pirzada has Phd in political science so it make sense for him use Dr during his political program. Why do MBBS Dr use it during a political talk show where they are not discussing medical issues or give medical opinion. There is a famale anchor who has stopped using Dr recently which should be appreciated.

Yes a masters' is a serious qualification but it depends where you earned that? Is a Masters' from a top university equal to a master from Achar university Shikarpoor?

Master's Degree from an accredited university is equal to any other university's Degree, person's caliber can be different from university to university due to exposures or the teaching professors, in Pakistan every University will have the same syllabus for masters in any subject. And my objection was when you said they have just masters and I said master is not some thing that any tom , dick and harry will do. We should be fair in criticizing and not be taken away by opposition for just opposition's sake. I dislike most of the journalists but because of their practices only.

seriously dude u think Daily Mail is journalism ?

Well, they are no Washington post or Guardian and don't have people like Hersh or Fisk writing for them, but technically they are a newspaper (just about).

What I don't understand, is that if they are so bad and incorrect, why doesn't Nawaz butt and the mini-butts sue them? It will be an easy win and daily mail do have a record of loosing libel court cases...
