Responsibilities of Media. Is breaching someone's privacy a moral act?

During the last decade, electronic media of Pakistan has been given a lot of freedom by the Government, and it is absolutely fine for the sake of freedom of speech. But today the direction of media specially the news channels badly needs to be addressed. There are a very few anchors which are playing their role with responsibility, the rest of the market is full of non-trained and unprofessional people who are only in pursuit of Rating nothing else. 

Recently a morning show host created a hype by actually raiding dating couples on live camera. After watching that only one thing comes into mind, is is ethical to expose someone like this in front of millions and billions of people???

Are these media personnel unaware of camera ethics? Where one can't record someone without his/her consent. There suold be a proper training and qualification before employing someone into such kind of job at electronic media. Do have a look at the videos as well.

Four Year Progress of govt.

Being the only so called democratic government in the history of Pakistan, it claims to have the mandate of the people of Pakistan and being elected through the free and fair elections. But is the government really been able to achieve its targets?? Ironically speaking yes, all the participants of the DEMOCRATIC regime are close to achieve what they desired. They have filled in their pockets and harvested the returns on what they had invested in the last elections. Now its time for someone else to repeat the story. Here is a beautiful overview of the performance of the PPP led government of Pakistan by Faisal Qureshi.

Habib Bank Goes for Branch Less Banking

A few years ago Telenor Pakistan came up with one of the most innovative service in the telecom sector of Pakistan under the brand name of Easy Paisa. At that time the tag line of Easy Paisa "badley zindagi asaani sy" didn't seem that much promising, but with the passage of time they delivered the promise and easy paisa became one of the most innovative and widely used service prodived by any telecom company in Pakistan after SMS. This gave a new trend for the industry "Branchless Banking.

After that Mobilink and UBL also tried to imitate Easy Paisa but still they couldn't grab much market share.

Now its HBL which has jumped into the market of Branchless Banking, basically the main reason of finding new ways to expand the market is the saturation of existing markets. Both telecom and banking sectors need some serious innovation to grab business so both are coming up with kind of joint ventures to facilitate their customers.

Recently HBL has advertised invitations for Branchless Bankig agents, which means that besides 1500 branches all around the country, HBL will be having its representation in almost every street of Pakistan. Currently HBL has partnered with Ufone for this purpose, and according to sources it can add more cellular partners to facilitate more customers.

The whole package seems promising but it looks like the carbon copy of UBL OMNI, eventually there would be many places in one street for utility bill collection, funds transfer, account opening, etc. There would be more chances of fake transactions etc. However I hope for the best for HBL and its customers, as the increasing competition encourages good quality of products and services.
