Yeah?i always thought it was a 100% neutral paper whose founder was Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah?

Dawn is a much more objective paper. Objectivity and neutrality are different. Jang Group (The News) is much more tabloid like in its investigative reports. Dawn obviously spends more time counter checking its claims and sources before coming out with a damning report. It's reports on social issues are always deep and thought provoking; The News in comparison never deals with social issues and follows the populist views of bashing politicians only and never cares for economic and social issues.

Nonetheless, Dawn obviously caters to a much more upwardly mobile class. As it almost neglects populist viewpoints, it seems like an "elitist" paper, the paper for the morning-tea-sipping-what-will-happen-to-this-country-I'm-going-to-the-financial-security-firm-now kind of people. And it also resonates the establishment's views on many many occasions. Talk to their journalists and opinion writers and they'll tell you that although Dawn does not censor their speech, it rejects pieces entirely that do not follow editorial policy on issues.

And what did Jinnah have to do with Dawn here? Trying to seal an argument with Jinnah's name is a stupid thing to do.

I don't know who started dawn news and and also um not an analyst..... but I can comment on dawn news because I've been reading it from quite a long time.
I 've read columns and all that stuff and it never looked to me a pro-establishment paper.....
Infact it is always trying to prove how bad our army is and how much bad works it has done.......

Infact of all the channels and news papers I've only found dunya news to be neutral....... They just show every point of view but dawn news is always showing depressive things or dark side of pakistan like geo but in a different way

Actually, Dawn is the most pro-establishment newspaper and the establishment is almost entirely the military. Any news that does not agree with your point of view or what you believe in does not make the other a basher or a hater.

oh plz read kamran shafi (hardly any article goes without bashing army n his favourite word "commando") n irfan hussain (ex-editor)..

The usual labeling has to follow under the everybody's a traitor formula. Grow up !

And Kamran Shafi is just the stock guy for laughs.

her social articles are ful of insight..i m bothered about whatz written on paper n noy what she actualy is...

i know a survey on circualtion of newspapers in lahore was done n the reults were that "the news" has more circulation in elite areas whereas dawn is popular among middle class areas...the news is more towards sensational journalism..even the layout looks spicy..(my observation only)
