About Pajhwok Afghan News
Pajhwok Afghan News was founded in 2003 by Danish Karokhel and established as a news agency in April 2004. It is wholly owned and operated by Afghans and states it has no political affiliations.
Pajhwok Afghan News claims to be Afghanistan's largest independent news agency, committed to impartiality and professional journalism, and aims to promote transparency and accountability. However, the media environment in Afghanistan under Taliban rule is severely restricted, with the country consistently ranking among the worst for press freedom by Reporters Without Borders (RSF). RSF reports indicate heavy censorship, prohibitions on direct criticism of the Taliban, and requirements for media outlets to air state-approved content. Pajhwok acknowledges that safety concerns may prevent it from reporting all sides of a story or delaying publication. Ground.news assigns an 'unknown' media bias and factuality rating to Pajhwok Afghan News. While the outlet has a history of investigative reporting, including a past controversy where it faced government scrutiny for reporting on an alleged bribery scandal, the current authoritarian context significantly constrains its editorial independence
Reading context
Media systems vary by law, ownership, and editorial custom. We preserve each outlet's framing and add context so readers can compare coverage without treating one country as the default.
