She, however, laid emphasis on being a bit more specific about the sources quoted in the reports.

Janet, an associate professor of George Washington School of Media and Public Affairs, also spoke about press reporting in different countries.

Replying to queries she said though a bit late, the US media is now vocal against the stance of Bush Administration on Iraq issue.

Due to its role, the president is losing public support and it might have a negative impact on him in next election, she observed.

CRC Member Secretary Moazzemul Haq, Vice-President Shamsuddin Harun, American Centre Director Karl Fritz and Information Chief Ali Ahmed also spoke at the seminar.
