Indian media driven by crass commercialisation: Pak advisory
The advisory asked Pakistan media to follow the example of professional handling of Brussels attacks by international media.'
New Delhi: It is the turn of the Indian media to be at the receiving end with Pakistan issuing an advisory to its pressmen asking them "not to follow the Indian media that is driven by crass commercialisation" while covering news.
"In the wake of Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi incidents, media is expected to cover the events with utmost professional responsibility,” it said.
"Pakistan media needs to follow the example of professional handling of Brussels attacks by international media rather than following in the footsteps of Indian media that is driven by crass commercialisation," Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority further said in the advisory.
The advisory was scoffed at by Indian journalists, some of whom described it as "ironical".
