IT is a fact that people remain glued to TV watching news channels as they get spicy stories and opinions along with heated discussions by politicians. But these news channels do not report on issues that need much attention.

Recently, a Sindh University professor was gunned down, a PIA employee was harassed by policemen for not stopping flight for IG Police, Sindh, and another policeman, who was involved in 1990 operations, was shot dead.

Big names of these talk shows clearly show ignorance of such important matters. The link between all three cases was that victims stood by the rules, performed their duties honestly, did not break the law or abused their authority.

It is the duty of these TV channels to dig down these stories like they do while reporting on politicians. If the media can get news on personal matters of these politicians, is it difficult to get updates on such cases?
