He was sitting in front of me with blank looks and asking so many questions to me (as i have all his answers) one of his favourite question was, What will I do to make my survival comfortable? My dear Readers, after downsizing in so many media companies like TV channels,radio FM and newspapers so many valued journalists got affected and left on roads with no jobs.

Journalists having proper qualifications ,trainings and experienced are forced to work in markets on very lower daily wages even a person with no education can't think over.Its very miserable conditions of media experts but who made them so pitifull ? question arises here.

Government? owner of media companies?Economic downfall? favoritism?

In view of on going circumstances of media showbiz and current affairs, expectations are more than their capacities.Media companies want to rise overnights but with lack of knowledge and experiences they make faults and fumbles in their productions,like not choosing correct subjects to be picturized, to be on aired,and to be produced.

The owners of media companies want their high business out of their poor quality and low ranked shows and ignore competent people and their competency. They want only business out of the name of Patriotism but person asks where is patriotism in your programmes and shows? If you really want to contribute in country building then must understand the needs of a competent and a talented journalist.Don't throw them away on roads and not filling their offices with incompetent and illiterate staff.

Today I can see hundred of competent people on roads searching jobs with high experience of working on well known media companies but today they don't find place for them.The strike of life is going on for them....Few days before a journalist committed suicide in Lahore because of not paid on time.
