Us:-
Pakistan Post is the leading Pakistani American
newspaper that has played pivotal role in breaking stories about
changing political governments in Pakistan. In Pakistan Posts
New York office, Mr. Naeem Bokharis letter was translated and
printed for the very first time in February 2007. The letters
publication resulted in a bigger controversy of freedom of justice
and speech in Pakistan. This letter brought about the discussion of
the returning of army to barracks in Pakistan; Pakistan Post
had also predicted the massacre in Karachi of May 12th, 2007 and its
consequences on Mutahidda Quami Movement (MQM), Pakistan Post
had given Prime Minster Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamalis date of
resignation ten weeks prior to his resignation in 2004, and
Pakistan Post had mentioned Mr. Bulkh Sher Mazaris name as the
interim Prime Minster in 1992 when only a chosen few in Pakistan
knew about him, seven months before he took oath as an interim Prime
Minister.
Pakistan Post has also been remarkable
in printing stories about so called community leaders of Pakistani
American as well as Canadian community. Pakistan Post has
also have the honor of interviewing elected officials from U.S House
of Representatives, New York State Assembly and New York City
Council. We have interviewed Director of U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services of New York region, FBI personnel from New York
as well as Houston, and officials from U.S. Department of Homeland
Security about issues of South Asian community.
Keeping in mind the changing trends,
Pakistan Post felt the need of involving the Pakistan
American/Canadian youth in the community and the society at large.
With the transformation of the magazine into English called
Generation Next, we have successfully involved South Asian
communities - as the English language has broad based appeal. With
discussions among the youth about topics they feel strongly about,
interviews indicating the problems and the outlook of youth, and
articles that depict the North American culture of people of South
Asian background, Generation Next has given much needed voice
to South Asian youth.
In New York City, we have circulation of about
25,000 to 30,000 copies; in Queens this circulation is about 15, 000
copies and is circulated in areas such as Astoria, Jackson Heights,
Jamaica, Flushing, Ozone Park and a few other places. In Brooklyn,
the circulation is about 18,000 copies and the newspaper is
distributed along Coney Island Av., up to Brighton Beach. Within the
tristate area, there is viable Pakistani American community of
400,000. In Long Island, there are about 20,000 households in Nassau
and Suffolk County.
Pakistan Post also has
its offices in Washington, Houston, Calgary and Toronto.
