The paper aims to provide an insight into the role of media and
academia in shaping a new narrative in Pakistan (by strengthening
the national cohesion, economic and social progress), with reference
to the fundamental laws as enunciated in the Constitution of the
Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The initial research hypothesis
envisages the necessity of providing an updated narrative for
rebuilding the social contract in order to introduce greater social
equality and provide better chances for the multidimensional
development of Pakistan’s citizens. There are three major
assumptions in this research: There is a need to come up with an
updated formula for the state-society relations and need to renegotiate the social contract at multiple levels by taking into
consideration the voice of the public. All decision-makers and
influencers from the media, civil society, civil and military
bureaucracy, business and academia, have their distinctive role in
rebuilding/renewing the social contract. The media and academia
have unprecedented role in the development of a rules-based
society, thus their contribution to reshaping a narrative in Pakistan
should not be underestimated. Modern, 21st century social order
should adhere to the principles of equality and empowerment of the
underprivileged groups, as articulated in the Constitution of the
Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
