In the history of evolution of states in world, Pakistan is a novice and is proceeding gradually towards prosperity and betterment at national and regional state. In contemporary era, media has earned the status of Power. In democracies, media is viewed as a powerful tool for molding public opinion in a civilized manner. Governments, before taking any major policy decisions take consent of its population through opinion polls and surveys. Media also acts as a projectile to highlight the core issues of a society. Despite being ruthlessly powerful, Media is not free from aberrations. Media in Pakistan focuses only on the breaking news and for the sake of acquisition of more esteem, compromised a large deal. Lionization of Indian and Turkish culture drama and reality shows, media in fluxed acceptance of sleeveless, dupatta-less culture in our society. in recent past, such dressing sense was related to a particular chunk of population. In current times, it has become in vogue. Along with that the typical saas-bahu-nand etc., etc. culture adulterated our social norms. things which were hidden because of our cultural and social norms is now exposed.Now, media is the "nanny" who is training our youth. Parental control has lost its effect as everything is now accessible for every one through internet and gadgets like mobile phone, laptops , i-pads etc.
It is time to take control on Media. a policy that can filter all the lethal contents that is polluting our society before it is too late too regret even.
