Description

The media influences our behaviours, emotions, physiology, beliefs and of course, our attitudes. Take a look at Pakistani news channels, social media, and all the transitory fads that are now popular. What passes for trendy conduct now may seem cringe-worthy and dated in a matter of weeks or even a month.

This indicates that the potential for both good and bad effects brought about by mass media is quite large and must not be undervalued. Nonetheless, what effect do media like news channels in Pakistan have on the country’s social and cultural life? Let’s have a look!

Positive Impacts of Mass Media

The positive effects of media are many. In reality, it has the potential to be a significant factor in the improvement of our society. Imagine some positive results, like these:

• Raise the Level of Awareness

More people will be aware of problems like politics and global crises if they see them discussed on live TV news and other social media. Raising awareness is crucial because it prompts us to consider these factors. Moreover, pondering the problems we face as a society might help us find viable answers. Even if it doesn’t, it may show us how to make our own unique contributions.

• Bring the Matters to Light

The increasing knowledge and information shared on Pakistan news channels live have the potential to bring topics such as political difficulties to life. Consider the conflict that has just broken out between Russia and Ukraine.

Younger people and others who do not live in such nations might have little understanding of what is happening there.  Problems, however, are brought to life for the entire world to observe for themselves thanks to our instant and constant connectedness with the rest of the world via news, social media and the internet.

• Support Minorities

There is no doubt that mass media has played a vital role, and the major Pakistani news channels have always given a voice to the minority. Furthermore, there is the power of numbers. Previously, the majority may have been able to drown out the voices of the minority. But doing so is now far more challenging.

Even if they might be in the minority, it doesn’t imply they don’t have valid points to make or that they’re wrong. Problems can’t be solved and conflict avoided without thinking outside the box and generating ideas that aren’t the norm.
