The Frontier Post

The Frontier Post was launched in 1984 from the Peshawar capital of Khyber Pashtoon Khawa (KPK). The Frontier Post was the first English daily from Peshawar, a city which was one of the most backward poor area in Pakistan . It was also the first not only English but any kind of a newspaper of media institution started by a Pakhtoon. The people of Peshawar in general and Pakhtoons in particular considered the launch of The Frontier Post from Peshawar as a great honour . And privilege. The people of KPK were very happy because they knew that their problems will now be heard and addressed in the corridors of power and decision making authorities. It has been since then that the Pakhtoons have considered The Frontier Post as part of their own culture and tradition The Frontier Post gained great popularity right after its launch due to the invasion of Afghanistan by the then USSR. The frontier post due to its policy of truth and honour has gone through several highs and lows, but it has always come out through hard times honourably and respectfully. And indeed this credit goes to my team who have always considered The Frontier Post as one big family. The Afghanistan page of The Frontier Post was added in year 2000 and it has been since then that its readership has become the largest in Afghanistan of any print media organization. Everyday our own vehicles deliver more than twelve thousand copies of The Frontier Post to the different cities of Afghanistan. Managing Editor of The Frontier Post, Jalil Afridi in year 2015 has also started The Frontier Post from America as a weekly Pakistani English newspaper in order to attract the Pakistani readership abroad. All major national and multinational companies are advertising in the print and web edition of The Frontier Post on regular basis. The Frontier Post has always believed on principles of honest reporting, raising issues of the common man and writing in the most unbiased manner.
