ISLAMABAD -- Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani Saturday urged the media to play pivotal role to dispel the false and misleading impressions, being portrayed in the world about Pakistan. Addressing the concluding session of conference on "Attacks on Journalists and Freedom of Media" organized by Pakistan Media Commission here at a local hotel, the Prime Minister said, "The media can clear the wrong perceptions and supplement the government's efforts in creating a better image of the country." The Prime Minister said media code of ethics should be observed by the journalists in the reporting of conflict and terror incidents. He said intelligent and sound use of media can play an important role in resolving internal and external conflicts and inevitably addressing the security and development needs of the country. The Prime Minister said media has, undoubtedly, emerged as the most significant element of national power and has moved close to the heartbeat of the nation. "It must now realize its responsibilities towards people and the State", he added. He said media should raise professional standards, observe media ethics and agree to a framework, which should be evolved through consensus among all relevant media organizations. The Prime Minister said, "today the country is going through the most critical and challenging period of the history and media is undoubtedly playing a significant role in the current challenging scenario, specifically in the fight against terrorism."
