Politics-Youth & Media
Young people alienate themselves from the political life of the country and communication politics can be put into lime light under this context. Communication politics is a hybrid term with its origins in communication studies and political science. What Pakistani media are communicating to youth of Pakistan?
Politics is as spreading across media like anything Thanks to fast spreading media in Pakistan! But looking deeply will give an insight into other side of coin which is taking our youth away from politics and the important aspects of it. Creating politics not a serious business but a circus where jokers are entertaining us has been strictly criticized by concerned segments of the society. The politicians don't stand alone in this arena but they have been portrayed on a bigger canvas than ever before. Today people take comedians seriously and politicians as a mere joke !
Political communication has an important role in understanding the factor of young minds moving away from politics. The skills must be used to affiliate youth with politics by bringing on scene and talking about social, cultural and scientific aspects of politics round the world and translating the same into the local context.
Youth takes aspirations from media and perspires the learning in the form of their hatred towards politics. Young people have high level of mutational abilities in regards to new learning and therefore, it is possible to strengthen the bonds of politics with youth. Sometimes, de-learning is stronger than first time learning.
Media owns power but with responsibility to be mature and fruitful, as a proverb says
"Fire is a good servant but a bad master" !
