The Role of Media in Pakistan’s Political Landscape: A Critical Analysis
This article looks at media's role in the political landscape of Pakistan, and how it has shaped political narratives and governed. It examines the contribution of the media to the strengthening of democracy, with a focus on the electoral processes as well as public accountability, and, equally, the role of the media under martial law regimes where freedom of expression was severely curtailed. The study uses a qualitative and descriptive methodology that reflects historic and current contexts and considers the media as a watchdog, as well as a means to politically manipulate. The focus of this analysis includes both the changing status of the media in Pakistan's multi-faceted political landscape and the impact of democratic development.
