The popularity of Pashto digital media has seen a surprising surge in recent days, especially on August 5, when the Facebook page’s views were recorded at over 5 million among viewers who understand only Pashto.
Hammad Hassan, a senior journalist associated with Pashto Digital, says that several journalists of Pashto Digital media are being targeted by the province’s ruling party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), due to their truthful reporting.
This data shows the growing influence of Pashto digital media, which is gaining popularity especially among the youth and the Pashto community for its genuine and credible reporting.
The success of Pashto digital media is a sign that people are increasingly turning to digital platforms rather than traditional sources to get authentic news.
The reporting of this platform has not only highlighted local issues but has also openly discussed social and political issues.
