巴基斯坦占领的查谟和克什米尔的报纸发行量急剧下降,几乎损失了70%的活动,因为数字媒体和在线免费分享扫描副本侵蚀了印刷读者。 Newspaper circulation in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir has plummeted, with nearly 70% of activity lost, as digital media and free online sharing of scanned copies erode print readership. 工人和供应商报告说,每日收入下降到不到过去水平的四分之一,由于大片新闻印刷成本上涨和政府援助承诺未兑现,情况进一步恶化。 Workers and vendors report daily earnings dropped to less than a quarter of past levels, worsened by post-pandemic newsprint cost hikes and unfulfilled government aid promises. 大多数印刷读物现已超过50种,政府办公室是主要的机构购买者。 Most print readers are now over 50, with government offices the main institutional buyers. 尽管一再发出呼吁,但没有设立新闻支助基金,使许多供应商无力支付基本需求,并迫使一些供应商脱离专业。 Despite repeated calls, no press support fund has been established, leaving many vendors unable to afford basic needs and forcing some out of the profession. 工业领导人警告该部门可能崩溃,没有紧急干预。 Industry leaders warn the sector may collapse without urgent intervention.
