Mir Khalil-ur-Rahman: Visionary architect of modern journalism, voice of masses

The founder of Jang, Mir Khalil-ur-Rahman, was a man of extraordinary qualities—an inspiring leader, an astute journalist, and an eloquent conversationalist. His charisma and sharp intellect left a lasting impression on everyone he met, whether they were aspiring writers or seasoned journalists. According to senior journalist Arif, who has been with Jang for 58 years, “In the early days of Jang, he took on every possible role. He cleaned the office, reviewed newspapers, wrote editorials and edited articles, and even took photographs for publication. As a good reporter himself, he was committed to finding good stories and scoops for his paper.” Two anecdotes demonstrate his commitment to journalism.
