Objectives: NAM has sought to "create an independent path in world politics that would not result in member States becoming pawns in the struggles between the major powers."

At present, they include: NAM High-Level Working Group for the Restructuring of the United Nations; NAM Working Group on Human Rights; NAM Working Group on Peace-Keeping Operations; Ministerial Committee on Methodology; NAM Working Group of the Coordinating Bureau on Methodology, NAM Working Group on Disarmament; Committee of Palestine, Contact Group on Cyprus; Task Force on Somalia, Task Force on Bosnia and Herzegovina; Non-Aligned Security Council Caucas; Coordinator Countries of the Action Program for Economic Cooperation; and the Standing Ministerial Committee for Economic Cooperation.Way NAWAP ek woeerrs a } Non-Aligned News Agencies Pool (NANAP NANAP was a cooperation system among news <= agencies of Non-Aligned countries, which lasted from 1975 to mid-1990s, — a lof itis about developed The news agencies have tremendous power in news media |countries. space.

This has helped them to consolidate their market positions. The headquarters of AP, AFP and Reuters are in USA, France and England respectively. Thomas Curley CEO of Reuters writes in History Book that, "The news agencies are attributed with global issues such as: the reduction of the world to a “global village", cultural imperialism, ethnocentrism, media imperialism, media dependency, global agenda-setting and the imbalance in world information order.” oO Every news agency serves as a major selection screen for the foreign news which is made available to the local media. Through the shapeless machination (scheme) of news agencies, Euro-American ethnocentrism (belief in the superiority of one’s own ethnic group) has become dominant across the length and breadth of this world. To counter this hegemony of news agency, Non-Aligned News Agencies Pool (NANAP) was Started in 1970s. NANAP was a product of Non-Aligned Movement which was started in the wake of cold war. ft was an arrangement for exchange of news among the agencies of the non- aligned countries who were for long victims of imbalance Lenten’ wad — ub— Joutres .

In this complicated world scenario, where the only purpose of news media industry is to maximize profits and where they have so many vested interests, it becomes a puzzle for a lay (not professional) reader to decide which news is authentic and which is not.
