Responsibility is the price of freedom!
Let’s start with differentiating the freedom of speech and freedom of press:
Freedom of speech is much wider domain while the freedom of press is a sub-domain of this realm. Freedom of speech is a “value”. It develops in a society over time and decades. Once the freedom of speech is accepted as a value in a society; then freedom of press automatically accepted.

Here comes to the question: “Responsibility is the price of freedom!” when we talk about the responsibility it differs a lot from society to society and from country to country. If we confined it to Pakistan then; I must say Pakistani media currently enjoying unprecedented freedom. Now the media is an institution or rather it is believed that the media is the fourth pillar of the state. Pakistani media has a great influence on the opinion making.
Responsibility! Here the responsibility has the same treatment as treated as a whole by the society. Pakistani media requires plenty of time to be mature. There must be a self censorship and an indigenous code of conduct.
