LAHORE: The best medicine for treatment of the cancer of corruption engulfing the Pakistani society is the media and journalists should use their right of access to information under Article 16-A of the constitution, Senator SM Zafar said while addressing a seminar titled ‘Right of Access to Information and Media Reporting’ held at the Press Institute of Pakistan (PIP) on Friday.
Senator SM Zafar said that despite many loopholes, the media had attained a respectable position in society only because young people were working in media outlets who always welcomed change. “I always remain optimistic about Pakistan’s future and when the question comes that to whom one may trust with this optimism – the answer is the media,” he said.
