PEMRA restricts live TV coverage of blasts and terrorist attacks
Most outlets reported that PEMRA has banned live coverage of blasts, firing, and terrorist attacks, directing TV channels to air only verified information and avoid rebroadcasting such incidents. While the Express Tribune and Dawn used slightly different phrasing—such as "unpleasant incidents" and "verified information"—the core directive was consistently emphasized across the coverage. Some outlets, like Daily Pakistan (English) and Daily Times, included additional context about the regulator tightening existing restrictions. No outlet explicitly framed the directive as a new policy or provided details on enforcement measures.
