Dr Ejaz Waris is a well-known host and anchor in the entertainment circles for over two decades. He has been analyzing recent releases of both films and television, while he also reports on entertainment and showbiz circles. After a decades-long career in radio, he has been mostly posting on his social media accounts. He has also received criticism from stars like Hira Khan and Asim Azhar for some of his analyses.
With such a prestigious background in journalism, colleagues naturally expect a certain level of professionalism, including respect for ethical boundaries, proper research, and giving credit where it is due. The Pakistani entertainment industry is relatively small, with only a limited number of projects and news stories emerging at any given time. As a result, similarities in reporting are understandable. However, blatantly copying a fellow journalist’s work without proper attribution is neither professional nor ethical. Despite his extensive experience, Dr. Ejaz Waris has repeatedly been found to reproduce content from the well-known entertainment website Reviewit.pk without giving due credit.
The examples below highlight recent instances where content published by Reviewit appears to have been reproduced with AI-generated captions. In several cases, we also observed the use of the same featured images alongside content that bears substantial similarities to Reviewit’s original reporting. The following comparisons present Reviewit’s original articles alongside the corresponding versions later published by Dr. Ejaz Waris, allowing readers to assess the similarities for themselves.

Having presented just a few examples, we would like to thank Dr. Ejaz Waris for his apparent appreciation of our content—so much so that, on some occasions, even the headlines and featured images appear to remain largely unchanged. That said, we believe it is only fair to expect basic journalistic courtesy in the form of proper attribution whenever our reporting, research, or presentation appears to have been relied upon. Giving due credit is a fundamental professional practice that benefits both journalists and readers alike.
At Reviewit, we have always made it a priority to acknowledge and credit other portals and platforms whenever we rely on their work. On the rare occasions where a credit has been unintentionally omitted, we have not hesitated to correct the oversight, apologize, and provide proper attribution. We hope the same professional courtesy and commitment to journalistic ethics will be extended by Dr. Ejaz Waris whenever Reviewit’s work is referenced or relied upon.
Regards! Team Reviewit.pk
