Sorry......You are not welcome
Knock Knock…before you enter…….it is not your domain….
You have a mic and a camera so you can invade anyone’s
privacy. A big NO…You can enter anyone’s
private place since you are media person. Sorry this is beyond the pale. Who
gave (media and the host) the right to peep into others life? Peeping into
others life is also prohibited in Islam. There are humane and decent ways to
discourage a bad act.
I was amazed and felt quite disgusted to see the latest
episode of morning show on Sama Tv by Maya Khan. What does she wanted to prove with
all this? That how low people and media
can go for “TRPs”. I was wondering media
ethics do really exist. Alternatively,
there are mere myths regarding ethics and laws as far as media is concerned.
Nevertheless, one
thing is for sure freedom of media does not mean to invade others privacy.
The same issue (dating) can be highlighted in a decent and
profound manner without disrespecting anyone on national TV, rather the way it
was being conducted. It clearly shows the intentions of the channel and program
i.e. to gain maximum ratings for their show, nothing else.
Almost a year
back another morning show (Geo TV) did a
similar publicity stunt the host Nadia Khan tried to malign actress Noor on personal
grounds, and that awful act to gain ratings turned out to be the reason
for the closure of the show and the career of the host.
Discussing social issues on TV, no doubt gave an insight
into the problem and its effects. However, conducting a show in this manner
definitely has more damaging and adverse effects.
The way twitter and other social media forums were bombarded
with comments against the host (Maya Khan) and the channel (Sama Tv) was evident
that it was highly unethical act by the concerned responsible people and they
should submit a public apology so that in future such unethical and immoral
acts can be stop.
