Press Freedom Crisis: Media Struggles in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir

Press Freedom Crisis: Media Struggles in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir

In Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, the news is not good for journalists.

Many newspapers are shutting down, and fewer copies are being printed.

Journalists are struggling to make ends meet because they are not paid fairly and are often fired without warning.

They are pressured to write what the government wants them to write.

The people who own the newspapers get money from the government but don't pay their workers well.

Some journalists want the government to step in to make sure they get paid properly and have a minimum wage.
