Sindhi language media in Pakistan


Sindhi-language media, or "Sindhi media", is the most important media in Pakistan, which delivers unbiased news on almost every issue. Sindhi media provides coverage of those issues that Urdu media and English media ignores. The mass communication department of the Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology, in collaboration with the US Consulate General, Karachi organized an International conference “Sindhi media: importance, opportunities and challenges”, in which speakers highlighted the importance of Sindhi media.

The government recognising the importance of Sindhi media decided to establish the Sindhi Media House in Karachi. The Habib University started teaching their students Sindhi language by the Sindhi songs and literature.

Sindhi is the official language of Sindh

Sindh (Sindhi: سنڌ‎), the second largest province in Pakistan, is a province of many distinctions. It is the most urbanized province with 43% of people living in urban areas, and is the province with the highest literacy rate.

Sindhi language has been used for communication for a long time. Sindhi printing began in 1848 and the first printed Sindhi book was published in 1858. Since then, the Sindhi printing has started and is still being printed. Although 1836 is the earliest recorded date of printing, some facts show that it existed before then as well.

(Sahafti Safar by Dr. Dad Khadim Barohi in 2004 by District Union of Journalism Press Club Jacobabad)

Sindhi print media is the oldest media in Sindh and its very important in the society.

Newspapers cover a major part of print media and thus have been affected by all the incidents happening in the past. Besides other reasons Sindhi newspapers developed as a result of Sindhi nationalism specifically. A very long list of the names of the newspapers is found, which reflects the interest of the readers. Most famous newspapers include: Daily Kawish, Daily Awami Awaz, Daily Ibrat, Daily Nijat, Daily Sobh
