Unemployment In Pakistani News Media

Abstract

Job security and securing opportunities to demonstrate their professional expertise are challenges faced by working professionals. The economy in Pakistan is in disarray and media outlets are no longer making as much money as they used to. As a result a number of media outlets have turned into stressful workplaces for junior staff members who frequently receive inadequate and delayed pay. For instance there is currently job instability among a number of journalists and electronic media professionals. The closure of some of these organizations joblessness and a high degree of insecurity among Pakistani media professionals have been the outcomes of economic downturns which have also led to fewer organizations restructuring and mergers. The purpose of this study is to determine how the topic of unemployment is covered and framed by Pakistani media outlets such as news websites television stations and social media platforms. The study will examine how often and in-depth Pakistani media outlets cover unemployment-related topics as well as the language and tone employed in news stories articles and social media posts. Additionally the study will look at how Pakistani media outlets spread information about job openings and resources for career advancement as well as how Pakistani audiences view and feel about the influence of media on unemployment and career opportunities.
