> Pakistan is introducing new restrictions on reporting by foreign media. Anyone working for an international media organisation, including Pakistani nationals, will need permission to report from locations outside three major cities. The requirement applies to all such workers rather than only foreign journalists. It will limit where international media can operate without prior approval across the country.
