via www.dawn.com

The first ever gender sensitive code of ethics for the print media was launched here on Friday, calling upon media persons to ensure a positive and fair portrayal of gender issues. A group of two to three individuals in each province will regularly monitor news items on gender and women development issues. To publicize the findings of this media watch group, a regular communication exercise in the shape of a media journal would be initiated.
