Abstract
Media is the most crucial element for the development of
freedom of expression. Unfortunately history of Pakistan is
evident of many unjustified rules and regulations imposed on
media at the name of securing „National Interest‟. Many steps
were taken like Press and Publication Ordinance (1963),
creation of National Press Trust (1964), Registration of
Printing Presses and Publication Ordinance (1988) etc… to
keep the media in control. On October 12, 1999 the fourth
martial law was imposed by General Pervaiz Musharraf who
introduced a new dimension of media‟s role towards politics
and then media started its journey towards gradual freedom
and liberty. This research paper is a qualitative analysis of the
relation between Pakistan‟s political and military governments
and media.
