Pakistani Media between Curves, Curbs and Free Expression
Pakistan’s media landscape has vastly transformed in line with global trends. Media in Pakistan has faced multiple challenges in terms of professional work ethics, new business models, freedom of expression, and the evolving balance between professional, controlled and opinionated media. The speaker, Dr. Arif Azad, has observed these changes both as a practitioner and as an analyst. With experience stretched between Europe, UK and Pakistan, he will bring his insights and knowledge to bear upon Pakistan’s media landscape, its troubled history, and its intersections with literature and politics.
In this session, Dr. Azad in conversation with Arshad Waheed, will cover media from literary, cultural, political and historical angles.
