Abstract
This research paper is designed to examine the problems being
faced by the journalists in two of the newly merged tribal districts
of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Khyber District and Mohmand District).
The researchers used survey method for data collection. A designed
structured questionnaire from the respondents (110 journalists from
both districts Khyber and Mohmand) working with different
international, national and local print, electronic and online media
organizations as a convenience sampling. The findings show that a
majority of the tribal journalists had been feeling insecure due to
possible threats to their lives mainly from the militants and the
military. The study revealed relationship between security
awareness and level of journalists’ experience and qualification.
More experienced and qualified journalists were more aware of
their security concerns as compared to less educated and less
experienced journalists.
