Digital Sahafat

Empowering Pakistan’s Journalists for Digital Age

A Training Initiative for Pakistani Journalists

The Google News Initiative has partnered with thousands of news organisations in more than a hundred countries over the years to provide tools, programs, and workshops that help publishers worldwide in boosting readership and revenue as they evolve their businesses. Through this partnership, Digital Sahafat aims to support Pakistani journalists and better equip these journalists with the skills necessary to combat misinformation, verify information, effectively leverage digital platforms, and enhance their digital reporting capabilities.

01

Digital reporting skills
