Dear Editor,
The quality of journalism is, inter alia, affected by, journalistic capability, integrity, courage, credibility and resources. It cannot be improved in any measure, as most our local TV channels seem to think, by the way the news presenters are dressed – especially those of the female persuasion. By fbeing copycats of the way female news presenters of BBC, CNN, Fox News, etc., dress up you cannot pretend to be more credible, more professional or ‘with it’. Such mimicry reeks of an inferiority complex and clutching at straws to improve your viewership. In formal (business) situations, our men do dress up in western clothes, but not our women, which makes the dresses of female news presenters all the more conspicuous, irritating and meaningless.
Nations who lose their sense of identity, are neither here nor there, and are stripped of their dignity and self-respect, which is precisely what has happened to our nation. What is wrong with Pakistani female news anchors being dressed in the traditional Pakistani attire, and even Pakistani men for that matter? Would we start believing them less? You don’t become CNN or BBC if your folks are dressed like their folks. We’d be better off if we adopted the western values of hardwork, discipline, respect of law, national pride and sincerity to their motherland, (all of which are wanting in us), instead of senselessly aping them.
Be proud of who you are and make the most of it.
