Abstract
Since the inception of Pakistan, the nation is gripped in political
crises. Number of martial laws and rifts between civil and military
leadership during democratic eras kept Pakistan under
extraordinary political crises. During the two democratic regimes
of Pakistan Peoples Party and Pakistan Muslim League (N) from
2008 to 2018, one more player came into the political scene of
Pakistan due to the arrival of private electronic media. This study
explores, assesses and recommends the required role of media in
the civil military conflicts from 2008 to 2018. For this purpose ten
experts were thoroughly interviewed and thematic analysis was
applied to fetch the results. Findings revealed that it’s the social
responsibility of state institutions to legislate the new laws in
order to specifically draw lines and enforce the current laws.
Similarly in order to end monopoly of media houses, cross-media
ownership should be banned and income generation models of
Pakistani media should be revisited, so that socio-economic issues
of the country are not ignored at the cost of the coverage of Civil
Military issues and other popular content.
