Sir: Some days back, it was good to read in the newspapers that Prime Minister Imran Khan has directed the Ministries of Information and Broadcasting and Finance to clear outstanding dues of the print media accruing from publication of government advertisements at the earliest. This was indeed a goodwill gesture on the part of the prime minister aiming at alleviating the financial crisis being faced by the print media for sometime and also to improve much desired and needed good cordial relations with the newspapers and media people. It is a well-known fact that a number of freelance journalists and columnists have been contributing articles from time to time to various newspapers through PID, all they are waiting for response from government.
