Need for media-academia linkage stressed |
| |
Journalism is being taught at different universities but there is no linkage between academia and media industry and we lack the institutions where media persons could be trained. These were the views of a participant at a workshop, like other many participants, who were stressing the need to develop the industry-academia linkages in Pakistan, held here on Wednesday. Competitiveness Support Fund (CSF) and Higher Education Commission (HEC) organised this third workshop of a series on promoting the commercialisation of research in Pakistani universities and research institutions.

FM listening: Muharram Transmission on FM |
| |
In the years that have gone-by, the beginning of Muharram used to usher a total change in the programming schedules with more pro-religion programs which were added to the menu. However, all that seems to have changed this year. Earlier on, whole transmissions were based on religious programs whereas now the ads of these programs are broadcasted between regular entertaining programs. No doubt, some of the private TV and radio channels are playing a pivotal role in changing the old mindset of people, especially the channels who target the younger audience.

The younger brother of Hayatullah was also murdered by Mufti due to this reason, sources said.
