GUJRANWALA – The Individual-Land-Pakistan (IL-Pakistan), with the support of Friedrich-Naumann-Stifting, is striving to promote the concept of Free, Independent and Responsible Media (FIRM) in Pakistan.
The IL-Pakistan, as an active non-partisan group with a national foothold, along with FNF, is actively engaging with the media so that citizens and media could learn from one another. The media has come a long way and succeeded in its struggle to attain freedom as in the last decade, media has experienced a tremendous change and growth.
It has now joined a path where it ensures transparency in governance as well as other aspects. To achieve this goal, the media has to adopt responsibility along with its newly acquired independence that will ensure a smooth and unbiased flow of information to the people. In order to further understand FIRM, the IL-Pakistan arranged a training workshop here the other day.
The training was based on a “Handbook on and for FIRM” developed by the IL-Pakistan.
