About Dawn
Dawn is a Pakistani English-language newspaper, founded by Muhammad Ali Jinnah in 1941. It is the flagship publication of the privately-owned Dawn Media Group, which also includes the radio station CityFM89 and the magazine Aurora.
Media Bias/Fact Check rates Dawn as Left-Center biased, based on editorial positions that favor a liberal perspective, and 'Mostly Factual' in its reporting, though it notes a lack of hyperlinked sourcing for national news. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) notes that while Pakistan's political-military elite retains broad control over the media, the English-language press, including Dawn, has a 'strong tradition of independence'. Dawn has faced pressure, including an unannounced ban on government advertisements, which led to a financial crisis and an editorial titled 'Gagging the media'. The headline sample reflects a mix of national and international news, alongside opinion pieces, covering various societal and political issues within Pakistan and globally.
