Communication Studies University of the Punjab

2. Killroy lost his job
after Ofcom (UK
media regulatory
body) conducted
an investigation.
He was punished
for passing
derogatory
remarks against a
religion.

3. This man was accused of
eating a swan, the reason
presented by Daily Mail was
that he is a Muslim and was
fasting during the month of
Ramadan.
The article was factually
INCORRECT as the man had
psychological disorder.
Being a Muslim had nothing to
do with his act.
Daily Mail apologized for
irresponsible reporting!

4. In reality the cards published that
year included the phrase 'Seasons
Greetings' instead of 'Merry
Christmas' this was manipulated to
the extent that Muslims were blamed
for banning Christmas!
Daily Mail had to apologize when
Red Cross filed a complaint against
this misreporting.

5. The News International phone-hacking scandal — dubbed
"Hackgate", "Rupertgate", or "Murdochgate" by the press
— is an ongoing controversy involving the defunct News
of the World and other British newspapers published by
News International, a subsidiary of News Corporation. In
July 2011, it was revealed that the phones of murdered
school girl Milly Dowler, relatives of deceased British
soldiers, and victims of the 7/7 London bombings were
also accessed, resulting in a public outcry against News
Corporation and owner Rupert Murdoch. Advertiser
boycotts contributed to the closure of the News of the
Rebekah Brooks World on 10 July, ending 168 years of publication.[1]
Continued public pressure later forced News Corporation
to cancel its proposed takeover of the British

6. Pakistani Media
Amir Liaquat, Mehar Bukhari, Mubashar Luqman

7. PEMRA never surfaced out to
take legal action against Amir.
Instead GEO network hired him
again on higher salary.
A program hoted by Amir Liaquat gave the opinion that
Ahmedis / Qadianis are worth being murdered. After 48
hours 4 men from the Ahmedi community were shot dead.

8. A leaked video proving that the
interview of Malik Riaz (real estate
tycoon) conducted by Mubashar
and Mehar at Dunya tv was
PLANTED didn't bother PEMRA.
The case is still pending in the
Supreme Court.
Mubashar Lucman is even being
supported by Imran Khan (who
often retweets him). Both these
anchors are still there in the media
of Pakistan
