پاکستان کا پہلا قومی ترانہ

کیا آپ کو معلوم ھے کہ پاکستان کا  قومی ترانہ پہلے کیا تھا اور کس نے لکھا تھا؟
جگن نارتھ آزاد(۱۹۱۸-۲۰۰۴) اردو کے شاعر تھے. خود ھندو تھے. علامہ اقبال کی شاعری کے جید عالم بھی تھے. اُنہوں نے قائداعظم کی فرمائش پر پاکستان کا پہلا قومی ترانہ رقم کیا تھا.
قائداعظم نے ۹ اگست ۱۹۴۷ کو مسٹر آزاد سے کہا کہ وہ پانچ دن کے اندر قومی ترانہ لکھ لیں. جب ترانہ لکھا گیا تو قائداعظم نے فوری طور اس کی منظوری دی اور یہ ترانہ ریڈیو پاکستان سے نشر ھوا. یہی ترانہ سرکاری سطح پر پاکستان کا قومی ترانہ کے طور پر پہلے ڈیڑھ سال استعمال ھوا. لیکن بابائے قوم کی وفات کے بعد اس کو ترک کر دیا گیا. بعد میں قومی ترانہ کمیٹی نے ابوالاثرحفیظ جالندھری کا لکھا ھوا ترانہ "پاک سرزمین......" اپنایا جو پہلے سے تیار شدہ دُھن پر بنایا گیا تھا.
جگن نارتھ آزاد کے لکھے ھوئے اوّلین قومی ترانے کے پہلے چند مصرعے یوں تھے.

" اے ســـــــرزمین پاک
ذرے ترے ھیں آج ستاروں سے تابناک
روشن ھے کہکشاں سے کہیں آج تری خاک
  اے ســــــــرزمینِ پاک"

           کہا جاتا ھے کہ پہلے ترانے کو اس لئے مسترد کردیا گیا کہ وہ ایک ھندو نے لکھا تھا.

WHAT MAKES A STORY NEWSWORHY?



News can be defined as "Newsworthy

information about recent events or

happenings, especially as reported by

news media". But what makes news

newsworthy?

There is a list of five factors, detailed

below, which are considered when

deciding if a story is newsworthy. When

an editor needs to decide whether to run

with a particular story, s/he will ask how

well the story meets each of these criteria.

Normally, a story should perform well in

at least two areas.

Naturally, competition plays a part. If

there are a lot of newsworthy stories on a

particular day then some stories will be

dropped. Although some stories can be

delayed until a new slot becomes

available, time-sensitive news will often be

dropped permanently.

1. Timing

The word news means exactly that - things

which are new. Topics which are current

are good news. Consumers are used to

receiving the latest updates, and there is

so much news about that old news is

quickly discarded.

A story with only average interest needs to

be told quickly if it is to be told at all. If it

happened today, it's news. If the same

thing happened last week, it's no longer

interesting.

2. Significance

The number of people affected by the

story is important. A plane crash in which

hundreds of people died is more

significant than a crash killing a dozen.

3. Proximity

Stories which happen near to us have

more significance. The closer the story to

home, the more newsworthy it is. For

someone living in France, a major plane

crash in the USA has a similar news value

to a small plane crash near Paris.

Note that proximity doesn't have to mean

geographical distance. Stories from

countries with which we have a particular

bond or similarity have the same effect.

For example, Australians would be

expected to relate more to a story from a

distant Western nation than a story from a

much closer Asian country.

4. Prominence

Famous people get more coverage just

because they are famous. If you break

your arm it won't make the news, but if

the Queen of England breaks her arm it's

big news.

5. Human Interest

Human interest stories are a bit of a

special case. They often disregard the

main rules of newsworthiness; for

example, they don't date as quickly, they

need not affect a large number of people,

and it may not matter where in the world

the story takes place.

Human interest stories appeal to emotion.

They aim to evoke responses such as

amusement or sadness. Television news

programs often place a humorous or

quirky story at the end of the show to

finish on a feel-good note. Newspapers

often have a dedicated area for offbeat or interesting items.

HOW TO WRITE A NEWS STORY

Here's something very few people realise:
Writing news stories isn't particularly
difficult. It does take practice and not everyone will be an expert but if you follow the guidelines below you should be able to create effective news items without
too much stress.
The Five "W"s and the "H"
This is the crux of all news - you need to know five things:
Who? What? Where?   When? Why?
How?
Any good news story provides answers to each of these questions. You must drill these into your brain and they must become second nature.
For example, if you wish to cover a story about a local sports team entering a competition you will need to answer these questions:
Who is the team? Who is the coach?
Who are the prominent players? Who are the supporters?
What sport do they play? What is the
competition?
Where is the competition? Where is
the team normally based?
When is the competition? How long
have they been preparing? Are there
any other important time factors?
Why are they entering this particular
competition? If it's relevant, why
does the team exist at all?
How are they going to enter the
competition? Do they need to
fundraise? How much training and
preparation is required? What will
they need to do to win?

The Inverted Pyramid
This refers to the style of journalism which places the most important facts at the beginning and works "down" from there. Ideally, the first paragraph should contain enough information to give the reader a
good overview of the entire story. The rest of the article explains and expands on the beginning.
A good approach is to assume that the story might be cut off at any point due to space limitations. Does the story work if the editor only decides to include the first
two paragraphs? If not, re-arrange it so that it does.
The same principle can apply to any type of medium.

غمِ حیات کا جھگڑہ مٹا رھا ھے کوئی: احمد فراز


gham-e- hayaat ka jhagra mita raha he koi,
chale aawo k duniya se ja raha he koi,
azal se keh do k ruk jaaye do ghari k liye,
suna he aane ka waada nibha raha he koi,
wo is naaz se baithi hai meri laash k paas,
jaise roothay howey ko manaa raha he koi,
palat kar aa na jaye aans pher nabzon main,
itne haseen hathon se mayyat sajaa raha he koi.
