Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority Ordinance 2002

The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) Ordinance 2002 establishes a regulatory body to oversee electronic media, including television, radio, and digital platforms. Its purpose is to ensure these media operate in a manner that is ethical, responsible, and aligned with national laws. PEMRA grants licenses to broadcasters, monitors content for violations, and enforces regulations to promote diverse, balanced programming while preventing harmful or illegal content. The ordinance aims to foster a free but accountable media environment that supports democratic values and public interest, balancing media freedom with regulatory oversight.
