Abstract
This paper presents preliminary data regarding rifts among
journalists in Sindh province, Pakistan. It analyzes the reasons
and motives of differences among the journalists of Sindh and
responsible for rifts. It focuses on the reasons for factionalism
among the journalist community in province. The data is
collected through six focus group discussions of purposively
selected districts of Sindh province. The major findings show that
differences among journalists community have developed
mainly due to vested interests, conspiracies of media
organizations/owners, and government; along with senior
journalists monopoly established over the juniors in the news
profession. Due to these reasons journalists have moved away
from district press clubs and have developed their own new
press clubs. Others have regrouped themselves under the
tutelage of some media organizations.
