Davos, Jan. 24 (TNS): Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday said the big business models pose a threat to real journalism in Pakistan.

Bilawal was speaking in a panel at the WorldEconomic Forum (WEF) in Davos discussing Fake news vs Real politics.

Discussing the concept of fake news, Bilawal said that fake news recently gained popularity primarily through US Elections; however it has existed for decades.

Responding to questions raised during the discussion, Bilawal said, “When fake news is disseminated in Pakistan it can have major issues – the point is to have the media come through as transparent as it can.

Coming from a fragile democracy attacking and demonising the media can have adverse effects.”

Bilawal said that there’s no concrete way to ask who runs fake news in Pakistan, they are far more commercialised, they push out their monetary interest. A lot of actors are involved in this especially commercial owners, he maintained.

The PPP Chairperson further stated that it is big business models and industrial giants who own and run media houses which pose a high possibility of the news being biased.
