Coverage of insecure events

    Case Study for Reflection – Police injure 31 journalists covering demonstrations

    Several privately-run TV channels, including Aaj TV, ARY and Geo TV, had their
    programmes pulled by cable operators for several hours because they
    showed footage of the violence.

    Journalists declared 30 September to be a "black day" to protest against the
    violence. Demonstrations were held in several cities, while the Pakistani
    press called the incident the "Battle of Constitution Avenue".
