Wedding and muckraking

Author: Daily Times

Sir: Imran Khan’s marriage with a prominent BBC weathergirl Reham Khan has become a hot issue nowadays. A section of the media has played a cynical role throughout the event by exaggeration of events, fuelling conspiracies about Mr and Ms Khan’s siblings and pinning some condemnable attributes to Reham Khan about her future possible political aspirations.

Social media frenzy was much more effective in character assassination of the newly wed couple. Cynics fumed abhorrent propaganda about the duo and all the trivial things, dance clips of Ms Khan, domestic violence and being a divorcee were aired. Our media needs to learn how to behave rather than indulging in muckraking people in every happening. A code of ethics is imperative for sections of the media to avoid such absurdity.
