The Nation has a special position in Pakistan's media, as the most respected publication in English, with firm and constructive views, and excellent news coverage. With five editions published daily from three stations, it is the market leader in the Punjab and Islamabad areas, and has established a strong presence in Karachi since its inception there in 2000. It is the newspaper of choice for not only those who make decisions, formulate policy, shape opinions or are in leadership roles but also for those youngsters who will call the shots in the future. The Nation’s editorials are acknowledged as the boldest and most influential in the country, while the wide variety of opinion it publishes by contributing writers, including some of the country's most prominent figures, is unrivalled. Its exclusive reports in politics, sports, commerce and on the public sector have frequently resulted in action by the concerned institutions and authorities.
