Appeal No. 122/10/19: Faiza Hassan Vs Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority

The PEMRA refused to provide requested information about the copy of the application for request of license by First Media Services – FMS Private Limited (which operates FM 100 in Karachi) and the state of qualification submitted by First Media Services – FMS Private Limited for purpose of issuance of license. The commission maintained in its Order that the constitutional right of access to information in matters of public importance encompasses information pertaining to those who are licensed to provide information to citizens about matters of public importance because each media organisation has a certain world view, an ideology which it ends up preaching to the citizens while providing information. Therefore, citizens have every right to know about the media organisations so that they could know what is the narrative of those who are trying to shape their narrative.
