When advertisers lead journalism

When advertisers lead journalism

It is Daily Jang, leading newspaper from a media group who has almost monopoly in print & electronic media in Pakistan. No doubt, unbeatable not only due to its policy but more importantly due to its professionalism. The picture u r watching is its front page and here the newspaper has published an advertisement covering almost 80% area of front page. As reader we love to read it due to news & columns and its popularity is also dependent on it too. Advertisement is essential part yet there should be a percentage with respect to news in it. Jang as a leading media group acts not only as a vibrant media institution but it also an example in Pakistani media too. It’s neither an international practice nor appropriate for readers. Advertisers should not allow leading journalism at all.
