Ali | 14 years ago | Reply 20 Oct 2010. Dear All: Not a very bad show with so high treasures of money you people have. However, people with a lot less money are doing much more if you compare amount of money and amount of work being done. I hope you will forgive me as friends tell it all to you, whereas enemies will not tell what may benefit you, as they will make you feel big and great but will make you lose, if and whenever they get a chance. Ali (Journalist) wisdom123abc@yahoo.com PS: I have 30 years of experience and am emailing my bio data once again. I hope I have helped you with my above mentioned comments as few others may have helped up to now.

Zaheer Ahmed | 14 years ago | Reply This is a landmark done by Express Media Group to launch an English newspaper which covers most of the major as well as minor problems related to the Pakistani nation. Hopefully, this paper will prove unbiased and unprejudiced paper and will throw light on those issues which are seldom exposed or manipulated. Being fair is a prerequisite for any paper to gain strength in today's shrunk world with unprecedented competition. My sincere prays are with this newspaper and I expect this newspaper will be a role-model for all the territorial and national papers. regards Sahito Zaheer

Hameed Shaheen | 14 years ago | Reply whenever money-hoarders set a media outlet to become the vehicle of their objectives,they are not necessarily objective in presentation; keeping media in their hands, they want to buttress their bargaining power to keep their empire safe from coercive application of laws of the time.

HUSSAIN WAZIRI | 14 years ago | Reply Indeed it must be an aplaudable effort by the energatic group of express media.On one hand it is a postive omen in the progress of telecommunication parallel to the civilized and developed nations.But what we should expect is it always focus on real issues of our society and portray the true image of pakistan.I am optimistic in this regard it will shed light on the focal points.

Badar ul Islam | 14 years ago | Reply Eventually a new Dawn has cracked on the horizon of Print Media in particular the English Newspapers. I congratulate you over the print edition of EXPRESS TRIBUNE. It really is a bold, innovative and great step forward in the field of journalism. It will lead to the propagation of information, knowledge and news that is accessible to majority. Still majority Pakistanis have no access to internet so this print edition will provide them with something really enchanting and informative. I pray for your further success. Now when you have launched the Print edition, I believe you will need some journalists or writers for your paper. Our students currently undertaking Mass Communication or Journalism degree have extraordinary writing qualities both in Urdu and English. You can provide them an exposure and outlet so that they may realize themselves,step in practical journalism and render their services for Print media. I myself being a student of Mass Communication at International Islamic University Islamabad and I have an instinct for writing and I write a lot and by Allah’s grace, my various writings on different issues have made their way and published in renowned English Newspapers of Pakistan. I want to work with some newspaper for experience. I only want some practical experience in this field. I don’t want any pay or income. I just want to learn something and polish myself up for tougher challenges lying ahead for me in this arduous field. I look forward to seeing a response from your newspaper for young writers and future journalists. I hope that you will not disappoint me. Awaiting positive anticipations.

Iftikhar Ahmad | 14 years ago | Reply Hmmm, fresh look for sure, wish print font size was a bit larger than it is. Easy readability matters man. Beware looks alone dont last long-we all know that. So gray matter, lots of it, will be needed too. IHT affiliation gives respect but Paki portion of the paper needs to match the standard as well. Congratulations anyway, in this land of the pure launching a paper and that too English, hats off! Best of luck nonetheless.

Asad Iqbal | 14 years ago | Reply Fantastic presence on the internet - I congratulate you and your team for getting this done so quickly and efficiently. It truly is impressive, and this must have only been possible with a group of talented professionals employed by your group. The content, the technology employed and and the way it's delivered here (standards etc.) surely raises the bar, and others will might/should feel the need to catch up! Congratulations and best wishes! Asad Iqbal a Pakistani abroad

Salim Aslam | 14 years ago | Reply The Express Tribune should try to invest more and keep improving its version on the internet and follow global trends instead of trailing behind and getting caught up in the muddled competition with the oldish newsprint sector. In the beginning they may face some delayed paybacks but in the long run they will definitely reap greater dividends. I suggest they take a leading role and be among the first to get a foothold influence on the new generation of readers of electronic content and get them addicted to reading it on their desktops, laptops, blackberrys, mobiles and ipads. Good Luck to the Tribune!

suleman raja | 14 years ago | Reply Dear Ziauddin congratulation on coming out with an excellent newspaper. Overall news coverage if excellent, you and your team have given fresh fragrance to English Journalism. However, more attention needs to be given to Balochistan which is full of news, specially related to socio, culture and economic. Wish you and your team all the best, God bless you all. Suleman a senior journalist

Azam Sultan Ahmed | 14 years ago | Reply To Mr. M ZIAUDDIN and the very young and aggressive editorial team of Express Tribune:- The paper has come as a need of the hour. People are fed up with the negativity that other publications are printing. The is a lot of talent and hope in this beloved land of ours, only that we don't see, hear and feel it. Having been associated very closely with one of the senior most journalists of Pakistan Mr. Sultan Ahmed as his son, I have seen the brutalities that honest and upright journalists have to face. Many have lost their lives and suffered injuries, faced imprisonment and more so now because of the live electronic media reporting, but they stood firm to their cause and never flinched from the dedication to duty. Instead they died with their boots on. Express Tribune is a tribute to all those valiant soldiers of a thankless profession called Journalism. Having read most of the English publications which at one time I used go through eleven newspapers which i curtailed on medical grounds, the Express Tribune is indeed a breath of fresh air. If it maintains a balance in its editorial policy and gives accurate and timely information in the form of news to the readers it has a bright future. My best wish for the success of this outstanding publication. Azam Sultan Ahmed S/o Late. Sultan Ahmed Senior Journalist/Columnist (President Pride of Performance in Journalism from Sindh 2010)

Dr. Asad Sadick, Germany | 14 years ago | Reply What should we expect from another newspaper?? Another set of big size papers with black news on Pakistan. Or do we expect a change from sensational media style, so common to electronic and print journalism? Let us wait and see. Lets keep quiet and look wise, even if it's otherwise.
