Express Tribune Photo Caption Error
Nov 23rd, 2010 | By Ali | Category: Express TribuneExpress Tribune on 23 November featured a story, ‘US-based group working to establish caliphate‘ that included a photo of Interior Minister Rehman Malik with the caption, “Pakistani activist of ‘Jamaat-e-Islami Sa’ee’ in FIA custody”.
There is no evidence that Minister Rehman Malik is an activist of Jamaat-e-Islami Sa’ee. Actually, this seems to be an obvious mistake as the article contains a statement from Senator Malik. However, no body has corrected or clarified to ensure that readers do not mistake Rehman Malik for a Jamaat-e-Islami Sa’ee activist.
While this might seem like a slight and even humorous error, it is important that such items are quickly corrected so as to ensure that readers are not accidentally misled.
The Author “Adil Jawwad Khan” who “allegedly” broke the story is himself an activist of Islami Jamait Talaba, Sargodha and earlier he was in Daily Ummat. Keep it up Express Tribune.
