ISLAMABAD: Prime minister’s aide Firdous Ashiq Awan on Friday announced that it had been decided that a committee be formed to “overcome challenges” that are being faced by media workers, houses and the industry as a whole.
Speaking to reporters in Islamabad, the special assistant to the prime minister (SAPM) on information and broadcasting said that Prime Minister Imran Khan himself will head the committee, while she will act as a coordinator.
She said that while international indicators like Moody’s and World Bank showed improvement in the country’s economy, the media sector was still facing financial constraints.
“About 85 per cent of media houses’ business depends upon advertisements by the private sector,” Awan said. “When the private sector faced difficulties, it affected media houses as well.”
