LUMS Live Session 40: Women in Journalism: Challenges in the Age of Social Media
Pakistan has some of the most capable and accomplished women journalists who work hard to keep the truth alive. During their course of work though, they have faced several challenges, the worst of which have been amplified by social media. Recent online attacks have led a group of these brave women to speak out and testify before the national assembly's human rights committee. Their appeal to the government is to take action against online abuse and harassment against female journalists in Pakistan.
To hear all sides of this issue, watch the fortieth session of LUMS Live: Women in Journalism: Challenges in the Age of Social Media. Our distinguished panelists included Amber Rahim Shamsi - Multimedia Journalist, Maria Memon - Journalist, Farieha Aziz - Journalist and Co-Founder Bolo Bhi and Meher Bokhari - Journalist.
