Pakistan Today is a

Pakistani cities – Lahore, Punjab; Karachi, Sindh; and Islamabad, Islamabad Capital Territory.[1] The newspaper later launched a business magazine called Profit Magazine.[2]

Operations

Headquartered in Lahore, the newspaper was founded by its editor and publisher, senior journalist

Hameed Nizami (3 October 1915 – 22 February 1962) and had been associated with daily newspapers Nawa-i-Waqt and The Nation before this for many years.[4]

Khabaristan Today

Pakistan Today has a satirical column called Khabiristan Today. Since its material is often unfamiliar, its satire is sometimes lost on Western audiences. This was the case in 2014 when an article claiming the Pakistani Council of Islamic Ideology issued a proclamation stating all women are intrinsically weaker than men, was picked up by both internet and mainstream news sources.[5]

Profit Magazine

Profit Magazine began as a bi-weekly magazine. However, following a partnership with Wall Street Journal, the magazine was later made weekly with Farooq Tirmizi as editor. It is Pakistan's only weekly business and economic magazine. Following Farooq Tirmizi's resignation, Profit appointed Khurram Hussain as managing editor.
