considering political issues but also cultural and other aspects. Sensationalism is also a common

complaint. In this article we are going to discuss about five female journalists who are

participating in combating sensationalism.

pressing social issues, but every now and then slip into sensationalism. instance: Her show at

the "Me Too" movement in Pakistan focused greater on dramatic storytelling than great

dialogue.

 Asma Shirazi (Hum News)

Asma Shirazi is a seasoned journalist and anchor. Her reporting on political troubles is

broadly observed. however, she from time to time prioritizes ratings over responsible

reporting. instance: Her live transmission from the Faizabad take a seat-in (2017) perpetuated

chaos and confusion.

 Ayesha Bukhari (Geo TV)

Ayesha Bukhari's reporting on social troubles is commendable, however from time to time

slips into sensationalism. example: Her document at the "Lahore motorway rape incident"

(2020) focused extra on emotional appeals than truth-primarily based reporting, prioritizing

shock cost over accountable journalism.

touchy subjects like gender and human rights.
