"We might not be the history
makers, but we could say that we were
there when it was shaping and we reported.”
WITH this veracity a great n’
grand nation came into sight on the world atlas to manifest
the charter of the comity of nations—as the silhouette of the
UN—hallmarked with an elegant mindset, Love vis-à-vis all n’
Odium towards none—n’ with the employ of the acknowledged
axiom—equilibrium—with live n’ let others live, as its podium.
Yet paradoxically this
fascinating land, sanctified with profuse n’ prolific
matchless traits could not clutch the magnitude of
adore—which, pragmatically is its bona fide right via a candid
flange. Prima facie some antagonistic psyches have—all the
way—been unleashing a sway of bigoted jargon to layer the de
facto features of this bravura n’ virtuoso nation—yet in vain.
To evaporate this flawed
propaganda—about Pakistan, PT is before you today with a
pledge ‘to do the news like the world has never seen news
before’. In fact—as we look at it—the birth of Pakistan Times and it’s
propel to stay alive is a modern David and Goliath tale about
how a inventive web-newspaper can take on into a giant module
of cyber medium—with an eventual goal—to win. We will be
thriving to institute links with almost every nation—around
the orb, as fêted ‘The Wall Street Journal,’ once illustrated
‘has turned the dream of a global village into a reality’.
At this point—we can, with a jovial n’ avid mood—assure the
cherished visitors that Pakistan Times is geared to try and change
people’s attitudes, to make them alike and love each other
more and think like caring n’ decent neighbours rather than
the fuming foes. Our zest is to report the truth n’ truth
alone—for the mutual excellence of every-one—explicitly of the
segment, which is a much-loved branch of the nation—with a
zealous loom that no eye-brows are lifted—ever—towards the
alluring swear of a plausible n’ credible team—blessed with an
opaque-free n’ translucent acuity—as crystal.
We are grateful to Allah Almighty, The Most Gracious and The
Most Merciful that yet a new dream of the authors of the TIMES
Group [to project Pakistan in its true n’ virtuous perspective
in a dazzling way] stands translated into a realism after the
aromatic admiration of its first venture—‘The World Today’
news portal [www.twtnews.com] which has won adore from almost
five million sweetheart visitors—from all-over the world—just
in a short span of three-months. The TIMES Group is a gratis
news service [with three websites—two in multilingual—with
English as pedestal n’ one in Urdu - Daur-e-Jadeed
www.twtnews.net], which have been launched
by globally-acknowledged noted analyst n’ distinguished
journalist Mumtaz Hamid Rao, as its Editor-in-Chief.
Rao, who retired from Pakistan TV after serving the set-up for
well over 35 years – with meticulous n’ assiduous positions
including the exigent slot of the Director News of the
fabulous network – says that ‘the key target of my colossal
objective is to take the Cyber Media to the zeniths of lofty
victorious magnitude with a singular zest—to portray in
entirety—the events-of-the-day plus to rip all types of
misdemeanors n’ felonies—wherever the vile exists—with a
warmth to notify to the germane muscles—via dissemination of
ground realities in the silhouette of news pieces as well as
the in-depth psychoanalysis on the up to date issues,
engulfing the societal—explicitly—those dwelling in the South
Asia today’.
Anything which is visualized does have a perceptible goal. Yes
we do have one and one only. That is to transmit to the web,
all sorts of significant episodes with an accurate outlook—as
expeditiously as possible n’ via this overriding medium—to
benefit the populace, irrespective of faith, gender, colour,
caste, creed or credo—with a buoyancy that each one of them
will oblige us by mailing their cute n’ vital annotations,
which will be reckoned as stalwartly valuable for the
potential sketch—we have in mind for times to come. As
pledged—at the pre- take-off stair of ‘The World Today’, we
plan to put on the internet—now with 'Pakistan Times' as well—an in-depth
analysis on current issues, posing miscellaneous perils to the
poor people—without any prejudicial impend and features—based
on stories of human interest—with focus on critical
problematic scenarios—in a bid to seek their instantaneous
solution. A standard editorial - with our vigilant image—shall
at the same time be a frequent facet.
To meet the flavor of everyone, we shall also be putting on
the wire—articles on every notable issue—from a village to the
metropolitan, exclusive interviews with news-makers,
horoscope, fashion, entertainment, special reports by our
stringers—to be based in every district headquarter—for
spontaneous reporting, sports events, business up-dates,
currency rates, forex index, weather forecast, picture of the
regional circumstances—with weight on the South Asian and
Middle East skirmish—and of-course an all-inclusive package of
the global scenario—with a pragmatic n’ truthful approach.
Feedback from the esteemed visitors of the website—in the
nutshell—reflecting every ones’ desire n’ cogitate from a bona
fide news website shall be the prime aspire before us—as the
21st century is the epoch of Cyber Media—by a down-to-earth
insight.
Thank you for sparing a few
moments jiffy for Pakistan Times,
