There are only few Pakistani journalists that can be counted on finger tips, whose articles are published internationally. But even these journalists try to avoid writing on controversial topics. The concept of national and regional interests is difficult to find in Pakistani media. In the same way in economic fields any creative opinion is difficult to find. Economic problems are discussed but instead of finding solution the concentration is on sentimentalism. The discussion is just limited to World Bank and IMF. Foreign aid is rejected and it is preferred to eat grass instead but whenever there is a slight increase in prices the uproar of Pakistani media is then noticeable.
