The mass media, in recent years, has developed into a new center of power in Pakistan. Its progress has been so phenomenal that traditional power centers are already feeling threatened by it.It is a fact beyond question that it wields an immense influence in bringing the general public round but how it manages to do that is a pertinent question to be asked.
