Pakistani newspapers’ sensationalized headlines and advertisements, including those featuring @MaryamNSharif ‘s images, have drawn criticism for prioritizing publicity over responsible reporting. This phenomenon is not new, as studies have shown that Pakistani news headlines often reflect varying ideologies and power relations, while readers express dissatisfaction with exaggerated and unfair reporting.

The issue is further complicated by the manipulation of news headlines to achieve specific objectives, as seen in the coverage of high-profile cases. The blurring of lines between news and advertisement has led to concerns about the credibility and ethics of Pakistani media outlets.

Some critics argue that this trend is driven by the desire for ratings and financial gain, rather than a commitment to factual reporting. As a result, readers are often left to navigate a complex information landscape where sensationalism and bias can obscure the truth.
