~ AAJ KI TAZA KHABAR 📰
A look at the absurd news culture in Pakistan -
Context:
Do you have time to read the paper now? News has become repetitive and unchanging, resulting in a lack of engagement and interest from audiences. Aaj ki Taza Khabar (Today's Fresh News) attempts to subvert this monotony, through the use of satire and irony.
It looks at the impact that monotonous news has on society and the consequences of people being constantly bombarded with similar stories and information. It disrupts dominant narratives and creates new and thought-provoking perspectives on the world and develops a deeper understanding of the relationship between news, art, and society.
Concept:
Yes, newspapers can be a source of humour sometimes, especially with the headlines and articles that are written in a lighthearted or witty manner. But it's important to remember that the primary role of newspapers is to provide information and news to the public. I explore the monotonicity of news in a humorous manner. Here the headline states "3 rozay guzar gaye pata bhi nahi chala" (3 fasts of Ramadan have passed and it wasn't even noticeable). The absurdity is the fact that the headline itself is common knowledge.
