Pakistan Medical Writers' Association (PMWA)
Pakistan| Established: | - | ||||||||
| About: |
Our organisation was established on August 20, 2007 with a view to strengthen science journalism in this part of the world. Unfortunately, in Pakistan most of the newspapers’ space is consumed by political and other news relating to US-led war on terrorism being fought here sine 2001. We have a lot of natural calamities and diseases etc., which often go unreported. Even if there are reports about flood, earthquakes and rains etc., the science aspects are never touched. We are planning to introduce science journalism through the efforts of our organisation. |
