‘Newsrooms losing strong voices on women due to media crisis’
Karachi
April 23, 2021
Courtesy of the so-called media crisis, Pakistani newsrooms have been losing strong voices on women, and the vacuum created by it has been filled by the management with lower journalistic standards, said the gender adviser for UN Women in Pakistan, Muhammad Younas Khalid, on Wednesday.
Khalid was addressing a webinar hosted by the Uks Research Centre on the launch of their report titled ‘Pakistani Media in Times of Covid: A Gendered Focus’. He termed the under-representation of women in media a “South Asian syndrome”, due to which the stories about the development of women are largely neglected.
