Prime Minister Imran Khan has formed a five-member committee comprising ministers and special assistants that will address the problems of media workers during the coronavirus crisis.

The move comes after the Pakistan Broadcasters Association (PBA) wrote to the premier seeking government support to save the media industry from a possible crisis and protect media workers.

PM Imran has tasked the committee with reviewing PBA's recommendations and solving media workers' issues, a statement issued by his office said.
