November 17, 2007 was the day when
Geo News was completely shutdown throughout the world, by a government
that did not believe in the freedom of speech. The local shutdown
lasted over 80 days.
GEO Network suffered more than 1.5 billion rupees
in losses due to the closure of its channels. No one has invested
more to protect and foster your right to know.
GEO believes in openness, accountability and feedback.
These are values that come from the cornerstone of our philosophy,
Geo Aur Jeenay Do! (Live and Let Live)
We believe we are all responsible for playing our part in promoting
and building a progressive Pakistan where each of us is able to
pursue a life of growth, respect, and freedom. Part of that responsibility
is for us to lay down some guidelines and rules that will help us
along the way in reaching this destination.
GEO Asool is a collection of those guidelines,
as well as our values, goals and declared biases.
GEO Asool is our social contract with GEO Dost – our viewers, who
are our stakeholders and ultimate employers.
We will welcome any feedback from our audiences as well as journalists,
professors, students, NGO activists, lawyers, political parties
and government officials. Everyone. From time to time, we will remind
you of our promises, but we expect that you will remind us, any
and every time you think we are wandering away from them.
GEO Asool | Jaan Kar Geo!
Derived from GEO Asool Vision Document, we have revised and circulated
GEO Asool
Best Practices/Code of Conduct draft amongst our TeamGEO members.
