AOA
Game on, you have done a wonderful job, but the topic you took is somehow confusing as you could have interrelated Media and Terrorism as the role of Media in controlling or promoting the terrorism. Media and Terrorism simply is a confusing topic.
This is what i think, may be i am wrong. please correct me if it is so.

I think there is some contradiction,what u want to highlight?

no pros of the media on this issue..

For example: Medias role in Swat Operation, they way they rallied the whole nation behind the operation. Discussions, reports and documentaries leading to developing an awareness to the gravity of the problem.

Medias role in general awareness. Medias role in highlighting the issues that lead to terrorism or give birth to terrorists. So many things could be plugged in to this outline!

Anyways a nice try for a start up !!!

First of all, thanks for spending time n giving opinion.
raja bhai, the topic is general. u are right that i could have interrelated promotion and controling.actually, i tried to show both sides of the pictur. for instance, media as promoter of terrorism showed how media was promoting terrorism and media as curbing terrorism highlighted how media was working to control terrorism.in the last what is the responsibilty of media to control terrorism. i think it was not confusing rather it was general and all aspects could be mentioned. have ur say plz........

thanks for complmnts brother.
bhai in fact i tried to give pros of the media in the second heading named "media as curbing terrorism." .n next, brother dont you think it is not pakitan specific that i should have qouted role of pakistani media in swat or elswhere.it was general encompassing global media.thats why i stayed general.have your say plz.......

thanks brother for time n opinion.
kindly mention the contradictions.

in-case your post was encompassing global media, kindly explain the following with examples:

1)excessive projection of whackos
2)irresponsible reporting on sensitive issues
3)less attention towards liberal elements
4)blasphemous caricatures
5)media and propaganda warfare

....this will be difficult because the terrorist for one nation may not be a terrorist for another.
