It is a fact that the role of the information system is very important in the war. In this regard, I have personally reported directly from the Gulf War, Somalia Civil War and the United States from the Iraqi warfare and I am well aware of how the facts are handled during the war. Pak -India has been revealed about the role of the media in the recent four -day war.
In this regard, a friend of mine has sent me a writing that highlights the role of Indian media. This article has been written by a person who has been working with local channels in India for decades. After reading it, it is well known that the two -edged sword of the media cut India this time. Sir writes the article, “I have been a part of the media in India for fifty years.
He says that Indian TV screens and media websites have shamed our heads with the rules of white lies, keeping the rules and regulations during this war. It was presented as a credible journalist in specific journalistic circles in Pakistan, tweeting the same news, so I called a former colleague, who has now shifted to Karachi.
If they were not picking up the phone, it was believed that perhaps Karachi was really over, but after a few hours, their own call came and apologized that they were currently standing outside a restaurant to get a canal. I then saw a few Indian media headlines. In which the news anchors were tearing down that they were reporting the attack on Karachi and Islamabad. At the time the news was run, the self -styled genius on the panel began to dance happily. Another famous Indian private TV has been limited.
The video of a fake attack on Karachi Port was made in the studio and broadcast as if it were real scenes. India’s English channel has claimed simultaneous attacks on Lahore and Karachi. Another Indian TV channel has claimed that 25 cities of Pakistan have been destroyed. In addition to the wrong information, the dirty language of the TV anchors and the abusive Gloch made a new history. This propaganda of Indian News Media was not spreading internet trolling but with full planning.
Unlike the “Kargil Jang” by the Indian government, no detailed briefing was given in this Delhi. Junior Officers Colonel Sofia Qureshi and Wing Commander Vemka Singh were given the responsibility of briefing the media. On the contrary, Pakistan presented the Air Force officer, Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed, to the media, who gave a detailed briefing through the map.
The style of Pakistani briefing was extremely professional. He patiently informed that the Pakistani air force had electronically identified Indian aircraft before the start of Operation Sindh. He said that Pakistan’s air strategy is no longer limited to traditional air clashes, but now it is based on a “multilateral war strategy”. All journalists know that when briefing is given in detail, the media also becomes compatible with the same statement.
Since Pakistan landed senior officers in the field, Pakistani stance on international newspapers and television channels was staged yesterday. The reason for this was that no senior army and a firm officer from India spoke to the media. It was too late when this error was realized. The result of this communication strategy was that the international media gained the credibility of the Pakistani position.
Time requires that educational institutions have journalistic education articles or training workshops in communications, journalists in this era of “Global Village”, Conflict Reporting, Desistor Reporting and War Reporting (War Reporting) and War Reporting.
