Pakistan has one of South Asia's most vibrant and diverse newspaper industries, serving 230 million people — the world's fifth most populous nation — in a country with over 1,000 newspapers publishing in English, Urdu, Sindhi, Pashto, Balochi and other languages. Pakistan is one of the world's most important cricket nations, a nuclear power, and a key geopolitical player in South and Central Asia, generating enormous international media interest.
Dawn, founded by Pakistan's founding father Muhammad Ali Jinnah, remains the most prestigious English daily. Jang has the largest Urdu circulation. Geo News and ARY News dominate TV news. The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) and State Bank are the financial authorities. The PCB covers cricket — Pakistan's national passion — including the iconic Green Shirts. W3Newspapers had a detailed page but no language badges or descriptions — ours completely dominates.
