Description
Byline: Prof Anwar Naseer Khan With the 'liberalisation' of electronic media, and the consequent proliferation of TV channels, in Pakistan, investigative journalism is likely to be on the rise. Investigative journalism in the West, particularly in recent years, has been a source of significant revelations of misdeeds, including illegal activities especially in the various arms of government. For example, in Britain, the disclosures of MPs expenses scandal, which, without investigative journalism, would have remained hidden, shook the parliamentary establishment to its roots; and the revelations ruined many otherwise respected MPs reputations and cushy careers. The aftershocks of the MPs expenses expose by the Telegraph are being felt today even after the national elections in April 2010 - three Members of the House of Commons (lower chamber of Parliament) and a member of the House of Lords (upper chamber of Parliament) are being prosecuted under criminal law.
