Pakistan
Press International (PPI) is a private sector national news
agency (wire service) which
provides national and international news to newspapers,
radio and television stations all over
Pakistan. It is Pakistan’s largest independent national
news agency and enjoys the trust of its
subscribers for providing free, fair and unbiased coverage
of news in a country which has seen a chain of military
and civilian dictatorial regimes since its inception in
1947.
It was established in 1956 by its Founder Chairman Mr.Muazzam
Ali and has continued to serve the media with distinction
since then. Among its notable heads also has been one time
Chairman Late Mr.Aslam Ali who bore the wrath of dictatorial
regimes for pursuing independent news policies and has the
unique distinction of being the posthumous recipient of
United Nations Award for Press Heroes for steadfastly upholding
the principles of freedom of Press in Pakistan under extremely
adverse conditions. |
