Persuasion is another function of mass media. Because of its having persuasive potential, both electronic and print media are used for advertising products, services, business, charities, or for political campaign. social media has started to replace the conventional agents of mass media like radio and television in a bid to attract advertisers.
Many product sponsors hire electronic and social media to advertise their products and services to a large audience.by the use of colourful and melodious jungles, electronic media tries to win over more consumers to a product.
Such as the jingles "ladoo k lashkaray jag mug kapray saray” and

Explain the historical perspective of journalism in subcontinent? CE-2012

Introduction:

the word journalism originated from french “ de jour” which means of day. Journalism is a method of inquiry (or literary style) used in social and cultural representation.

a) Print media

In the subcontinent the print media surfaced because of the foreign rulers. India did not know about printing or mass communication by the middle of 18th century. Since the influence of the English rulers was more in the South India, most early papers also appeared in the southern cities before the print medium came to western and northern parts.
Colonial journalism. The history of media in united India is colored by the colonial experience. William Bolts, an ex- employee of the British East India Company attempted to start the first newspaper in India in 1776. Bolts had to beat a retreat under the disapproving gaze of the Court of Directors of the Company.

Bengal
The Hickey's Bengal Gazette or the Calcutta General Advertiser was started by James Augustus Hickey in 1780 and is regarded as the first regular publication from the Indian soil. The Gazette, a two-sheet newspaper, specialized in writing on the private lives of the Sahibs of the Company.

Calcutta
B. Messink and Peter Reed were pliant publishers of the India Gazette, unlike their infamous predecessor. The colonial establishment started the Calcutta Gazette. It was followed by another private initiative the Bengal Journal. The Oriental Magazine of Calcutta Amusement, a monthly magazine made it four weekly newspapers and one monthly magazine published from Calcutta, now Kolkata.

Madras (Chennai)
The Madras Courier was started in 1785 in the southern stronghold of Madras, which is now called Chennai. Richard Johnson, its founder, was a government printer. Madras got its second newspaper when, in 1791, Hugh Boyd, who was the editor of the Courier quit and founded the Hurkaru.
Tragically for the paper, it ceased publication when Boyd died within a year of its founding. It was only in 1795 that competitors to the Courier emerged with the founding of the Madras Gazette followed by the India Herald. The latter was an "unauthorised" publication, which led to the deportation of its founder Humphreys. The Madras Courier was designated the purveyor of official information in the Presidency.
In 1878, The Hindu was founded, and played a vital role in promoting the cause of Indian independence from the colonial yoke. Its founder, Kasturi Ranga Iyengar, was a lawyer, and his son, K Srinivasan assumed editorship of this pioneering newspaper during for the first half of the 20th century. Today this paper enjoys the highest circulation in South India, and is among the top five nationally.

Bombay

Bombay, now Mumbai, surprisingly was a late starter - The Bombay Herald came into existence in 1789. Significantly, a year later a paper called the Courier started carrying advertisements in Gujarati. The first media merger of sorts: The Bombay Gazette, which was started in 1791, merged with the Bombay Herald the following year. Like the Madras Courier, this new entity was recognized as the publication to carry "official notifications and advertisements".
'A Chronicle of Media and the State', by Jeebesh Bagchi in the Sarai Reader 2001 is a handy timeline on the role of the state in the development of media in India for more than a century. Bagchi divides the timeline into three 'ages'. The Age of Formulation, which starts with the Indian Telegraph Act in 1885 and ends with the Report of the Sub-Committee on Communication, National Planning Committee in 1948.
Urdu Press In 1822 the Persian weekly Jam-e-Jahan Numa first time published in Urdu. Some time it publishes in Urdu, some time in Persian and some time in both the languages. During the earlier days of journalism newspapers were either weeklies or biweeklies, none of them was a daily. On January 14, 1850 Munshi Harsukh Rai started weekly Kohinoor. With a circulation of only 350 it was the largest circulated newspaper of that time. The circulation of other newspapers on that time was only 100 to 200.
Urdu Guide was the first daily newspaper, which was started by Maulvi Kabeeruddin from Kolkata in 1858. In the very same year as a second daily Roznamcha-e-Punjab started from Lahore. As a first Urdu daily of Bihar, Dini Bihar started in 1876 from Arah district. Zameendar, which was the best newspaper of that time, was started in 1903 from Lahore. It was the first newspaper, which used the news from erstwhile news agencies. This newspaper highly supported the freedom struggle. At that time the circulation of Zameendar was 30,000. Before Zameendar, in 1884 Munshi Mehar Baksh started a morning (Naseem-e-Subah) and an evening newspaper (Sham-e-Wisal). Maulvi Saiful Haq started the daily Rahbar-e-Hind from Lahore in 1885. In 1902 Maulvi Sanaullah Khan started the weekly Watan which regularly published for 33 years. Maulana Muhammed Ali Jauhar started Naqueeb-e-Hamdard in 1912. Later it called only Hamdard. In the very same year Maulana Abul Kalam Azad started Al-Hilal. After Zameendar it was the largest circulated newspaper .On March 20, 1919 Mahashai Krishn started Partap. Partap was the first newspaper, which started supplements.
Newspapers and movement for independence Before the freedom following newspapers and magazines were started to support the freedom struggle. Khilafat, Siasat, Ujala, Taj, Roznama-e-Hind, Ajmal, Hilal, Milap, Partap, Tej, Qaumi Awaz, Jung, Anjam, Inqualab, Nawa-e-Waqt, Hindustan, Aftab, Jumhuriat, Iqbal, Asr-e-Jadeed, Azad-e-Hind, Sandesh, Vakeel, Khidmat, Musalman, Azad, Paswan Weer Bharat and Al-Jamiath. Jawaharlal Nehru started Qaumi Awaz from Lucknow in 1945. Later it also started from Patna and Delhi. This time it is publishing only from Delhi and is in very poor condition. After Indias freedom Hafiz Ali Khan Bahadur started weekly Daur-e-Jadeed. Jamat-e-Islami Hind started weekly Dawat. This time it is publishing regularly as Bi-weekly. Dawat has a particular readership and it is very popular among its readers due to its views on current issues. Maulana Abdul Waheed Siddiqui started Nai Duniya,

TV in Pakistan

From the early 60s there had been a talk to start television broadcast in Pakistan. Planning continued and various departments prepared their reports about the feasibility of a complete TV broadcasting station. Main obstacle in setting up a TV station was not the money, but non availability of the technical staff which must run the broadcasting house on sound footings. The efforts continued, however, and bore fruit when on Nov 26, 1964 country’s first TV station was set up in Lahore.

Films in subcontinent

Films come to subcontinent The Lumičre Brothers of France exhibited their short films in December 1895 at Grande Cafe, Paris. The following year, they brought the show to India and held its premiere at the Watson Hotel in Bombay on 7 July 1896. It was a package of 6 films viz, Entry of cinematograph, Arrival of the train, The sea bath, A demolition, Leaving the factory and Ladies and Soldiers on wheels. From 18 July 1896, films were released at the Novelty Theatre on a regular basis. Entrance tickets ranged from four anaas to one rupee.
Raja Harishchandra (1913) was the first silent feature film made in subcontinent. It was made by Dadasaheb Phalke. By the 1930s, the industry was producing over 200 films per annum. The first Indian sound film, Ardeshir Irani's Alam Ara (1931), was a super hit. There was clearly a huge market for talkies and musicals; Bollywood and all the regional film industries quickly switched to sound filming.
The 1930s and 1940s were tumultuous times: like the whole world the subcontinent was rocked by the Great Depression, World War II, the Indian independence movement, and the violence of the Partition. There were a number of filmmakers who tackled tough social issues, or used the struggle for independence as a backdrop for their plots. In late 1950s, Bollywood films moved from black-and-white to colour. Lavish romantic musicals and melodramas were the staple fare at the cinema. Successful actors included Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor.

History of radio
year event
1926 The Indian Broadcasting Company. A private company was formed

July 1942 Peshawar radio station was formally inaugarated
June 1947 Quaid-e-Azam makes historic address on All India Radio and announces the creation of newly independent state of Pakistan for the Muslims of the Sub-Continent


Conclusion:

Journalism and media are one of those fields which came into existence, progressed with the passage of time and then proved their worth and importance for the subcontinent. Press was introduced into subcontinent under the british colonial rule and it has evolved since on similar lines, electronic media also gradually evolved in this part of the world. The first films were played in subcontinent in 1896.Radio channels were operating even before partition while PTV, the first Pakistani television became operational in 1964.therefore,it may be concluded that there has abeen a slow but steady evolution in journalism since the colonial rule.

q. "Todays media has taken centre stage role in the daily life and society". Give your comments on this statement in the light of media system dependence theory CE-2012


media system dependency theory

This theory states that the more dependent an individual is on the media for having his or her needs fulfilled, the more important the media will be to that person. the theory was developed by Sandra Ball-Rokeach and Melvin DeFleur in 1976.

Explanation

The theory is based on uses and gratification concept whereby individuals use a thing and in turn become dependent on it. in this context, it implies the greater dependency on media today. media acts like a focal point in today’s life. people get informed, educated and entertained by media. The more importance individuals attach to media, the more important it becomes.

Examples

If a certain individuals depends on media as the sole source of information, then in case of power outages, he remains totally ignorant as his primary source of information is obstructed. this ignorance will be due to him being heavily dependent on media as the only means to obtain information.
Similarly,during times of stress such as in earthquakes, floods or war, media plays a significant role and people too become largely dependent on it as was observed in the hurricane Katrina or invasion of Iraq.in all such events,people relied on media as the source of information and media exerted greater impact on the society.

Critical analysis

The statement “today media has taken centre stage role in daily life and society” is partially correct according to the media dependence theory. the dependence on media varies from context to context and individual to individual..even in the 21st century, there are many parts of the world, where people are not largely dependent on media as a result for them, media plays a lesser important role. whereas, in most urban and industrialized places, media plays a crucial role in the society and the society remains reliant on it.

Conclusion:
media system dependence theory plays a pivotal role in determining the relationship between individuals and the society.the greater the utility of media,the greater the dependence. Media and individuals enjoy a directly propotional relationship.

Newspaper readership in Pakistan
A private market research company, MEMRB, estimates that, in 2007, approximately 14.6 million Pakistanis read a newspaper at least once a week. The % indicates those from the estimated 14.6 million reading the newspaper at least once in the past month.press in Pakistan is dominated by jang news.the most popular English daily is dawn news, founded by quaid-e azam mohammad ali Jinnah himself.

popularity of newspaper in pakistan
According to the latest edition of the trivia book Top 10 of Everything 2011 by Russell Ash, Pakistan has the 10th highest newspaper circulation in the world!
We may not think of ourselves as newspaper reading people, but seems like newspapers do sell!
the general perception is that newspaper circulation has been pathetic in Pakistan but the numbers quoted in this book and taken from surveys of UNESCO put Pakistan at number 10 in the world in terms of the highest circulation of newspapers
The role of newspapers in a new media world
All Pakistan Newspapers Society (APNS) decided to hold the South Asia Media Summit (SAMS) to celebrate 60 years of existence
The role of social media as a news outlet populated by multiple citizen journalists combined with competition among TV news networks to break the latest story, means that newspapers are no longer a primary news source.Newspaper circulation appears to be declining as a result of increasing competition from TV, radio and news websites on the internet. Reliable circulation figures for newspapers in Pakistan are hard to come by.
statistics of F.B.S
According to the Federal Bureau of Statistics in Islamabad, the average daily sale for all Pakistani daily newspapers fell to 6.1 million in 2008, from a peak of 9.9 million in 2007.
In the context of TV, Hameed Haroon, CEO, the Dawn Media Group pointed out “many people feel that the electronic media’s presentation of news is more exciting so they don’t buy a newspaper,”
CONCLUSION:
ALTHOUGH THERE IS A DECLINE IN THE READERSHIP AND SALE OF NEWSPAPER TODAY,BUT STILL THERE IS SUFFICIENT APPETITE FOR NEWSPAPER IN PAKISTAN
my dear , news papers has not lost their importance with general awareness and increase % of literacy rate . Mostly ads are displayed on each newspaper, and with an increase in magazine journalism as well.Secondly , on one side you are favoring opinion of examiner that News circulation us 1oth highest in the world. On the other hand you are presenting federal bureau stats which counter arguing the above

In this society the media or press is free and law enforcement agencies are in power and judiciary is effective to make justice. This society give the protections to its people under the law and constitutions.

-Press freedom and responsibility under democratic society:
Freedom of press and responsibility are main ingredients to proper functioning of the democratic process. Democratic society encourages the freedom of press and responsibility and accountability. it gives the protections to the Media or press under laws and constitutions which result in growth and empowerment to the democratic society. Responsibility of the press relies under the shade of the press freedom. in a democratic society press freedom and responsibility go hand and hand as the two hands goes where the body goes. if a democratic society encourages the press freedom then positive effect on the responsibility is created. if a democratic society challenges the press freedom ,it automatically challenging the responsibility of press too. In a democratic society press freedom lightens the corruptions, dishonesty,injustice , bad governance and wrong implemented policies and tactics by the government. it enables whether our social, political and economical system is administered honestly and impartially. Responsibility of press in democratic society on other hand ensures the provision of the true and accurate information flow to the democratic society which help in making informed decisions and difference between wrong and right by the masses. in democratic society freedom of press ensures the provision of the platform to criticize and solutions of the issues. Responsibility acts as "watchdog" in order to make ensure to the masses government official and agencies are acting in proper way or not.

-conclusion:
at the last we should not hesitate to say that the press freedom and responsibility are the bases of the actual plant of democratic society.

more corrections and suggestions are encouraged by me in my solved questions from your sides .
Freedom and responsibility never go hand in hand , especially in democratic society .
1.Why Nehru , Titu were able to formulate new information world order ,
2.why Noam chomsky has said free speech should have limitation
3. Why yellow journalism is prevailed in current trends .

sadia,may be i didn't understand what actually the examiner wanted to know. i felt it was demanded in the question that i should put forward facts,whether newspapers show a decline or an increase. and the fact is that news circulation has declined overall in the world and that still among the countries, pakistan has a high rate of circulation.but the fact remain the same: there is is a overall decline in newspaper due to the other types of sources of information.

honestly,i don't understand what you are trying to point out? that i should not present both sides of the picture before giving my verdict or that you disagree with my final verdict?

secondly, what do you consider freedom? is it to be without any responsiblity?i feel freedom is when you use your freedom responsibly.so i think the two go together and are an essence of a democratic culture.

may be i am wrong in this regard because this is what i read Everywhere.if you have contrary views.then please attempt this question in your way. so i may understand your point of view.

My dear ,

Now a days , papz do not demand information just rather analysis with strong opinion or your reflection .All question are not reflective , some are descriptive in journalism , so first one has to see the nature of the question . You conclude with both sides in given answer which shows your lack of aptitude and intellect (examiner will think) . All of us has the same knowledge ,why some get higher or highest marks , it is the way of attempt and understanding of question .

Have newspapers lost their importance after the fast growth of cable television and social media in Pakistan? Comment.
Newspaper readership in Pakistan

Draw backs of Social and cable televison

1.promote sensationalism
2.Rumors mongering
3. Abusive languages
4. Partial judgment of the fact
5.Address illiterate faction only
6. Aim to entertain general mass not to literate
7. Play back singing / covering news lead with Indian songs
8. Exaggeration of particular fact to highlight the sentiment of particular sect
or immoderate approach
and many others ..

Merits of News papers

1. Impartial judgment
2.Covered all day to day happening
3. Addresses general problems and offer solution by famous columnists
4. Presents detailed reports of particular story
5. Editorial policy of Newspapers which restrain from sensationalism and restricts its objectivity
6. Addresses not the nation but all the over the globe ; it represent Pakistan at international level

and many more

conclusion

Its importance has been increased because of its objectivity , feedback and impartiality newspapers have gained more currency

I am not an authority , you have asked me and i just conveyed what I have . You may contradict . My intention was pure just to guide you , If you feel discomfort then I would not post an more

stay blessed

Regards !
