Daily Hilal-e-Pakistan (Sindhi: روزانہ ہِلال پاکِستان) is a Sindhi daily newspaper in Pakistan.[1][2] It was founded in Hyderabad, Sindh.[3]

History

The Daily Hilal started publishing in 1946, making it the oldest running newspaper of Pakistan.[4] It has been notable for its role in supporting the concept of Pakistan.[4] It also distinguishes itself as one of the rare Sindhi newspapers with additional offices in Islamabad and Lahore.[4]

The newspaper is one of 11 dailies published in the Sindhi language in Karachi. It is a member of the APNS, the Associated Press News Service, which is a source of news, feature, interview and columnist material. Pakistan has a free press; however, there is significant pressure on reporters and editors from political and religious factions toward self-censorship.
