Digital Sahafat

Empowering Pakistan’s Journalists for Digital Age

Digital Sahafat 2.0 Launching Soon!

After the overwhelming success of our 2024 program, Digital Sahafat is evolving into a more impactful and dynamic program. We are expanding our reach and launching the 2025 cohort with advanced training, new modules on AI and a stronger network for journalists, policymakers and media students across Pakistan.

Success Stories

The training was an eye-opening experience for me, providing expert-led insights on digital reporting and advance search. I am excited to use Google tools and learn more about it.

Bilal Ali – Intern MOIB

Training fellow journalists as a Master Trainer was a rewarding experience, allowing me to promote media literacy in KP. We need more initiatives like this in Pakistan.

The session was informative, increased my knowledge on fake news and verification techniques. Ms. Fatima was an expert trainer who also guided us on digital reporting.
