CHAIRPERSON'S MESSAGE

Our journey at Pak Media Foundation has been guided by a profound belief that a thriving media is the very bedrock of a just and equitable society. It serves as a vital artery for information, connecting citizens and holding those in power accountable. It is the crucial mechanism that underpins the rule of law, good governance, and the strengthening of human rights and democracy – indeed, it is the indispensable fourth pillar of any truly democratic state.

Since 1989, we at Pak Media Foundation are proud to contribute our efforts towards the promotion and welfare of all persons affiliated with the media. As Chairperson, I have witnessed firsthand the unwavering dedication of our team, network of journalists and partners in championing a vibrant and independent press in Pakistan.

Our strength lies in the passionate and diverse network that forms the heart of Pak Media Foundation – journalists, academics, legal experts, human rights advocates, women’s rights champions, and community leaders. This collective wisdom and experience empowers us to address the complex and multi-faceted challenges facing the media with innovative solutions and profound understanding, while also tackling broader issues of human rights and governance crucial to our nation’s progress. Leveraging the specialized knowledge within our ranks, we are uniquely positioned to drive impactful change through strategic advocacy, research and interventions.

Looking ahead, we remain steadfast in our commitment to working through strategic partnerships to cultivate a media ecosystem in Pakistan that is not only free and responsible but also deeply inclusive and accountable. Together, we will continue to shape a landscape that actively promotes the rule of law, upholds human rights, fosters a vibrant democracy, and embraces best journalistic practices for the benefit of all in Pakistan.

With sincere gratitude for your continued support,

Senator Syed Sajjad Hussain Bokhari
Chairperson / Chief Executive, Pak Media Foundation
