Dawn is Pakistan’s oldest and most widely read English-language newspaper. One of the country’s two largest English-language dailies, it is the flagship of the Dawn Group of Newspapers, published by Pakistan Herald Publications, which also owns the Herald, a magazine, the evening paper The Star and Spider, an information technology magazine. It was founded in 1941 by Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah in Delhi, British India. The newspaper has offices in Karachi (Sindh), Lahore (Punjab), and the capital Islamabad, as well as representatives abroad. As of 2004, it has a weekday circulation of over 138,000.

Founded by Mohammad Ali Jinnah on 26 October 1941 as a mouthpiece for the Muslim League, Dawn was originally a weekly publication, published in New Delhi, then the capital of India. Dawn became a daily newspaper in October 1942 under the leadership of its first editor, Pothan Joseph. In 1944 Altaf Husain took over as the editor and brought nationwide awareness of its daily circulation.

After the creation of Pakistan, Hussain moved the newspaper to the capital, Karachi. Under the instruction of the owner, Mr.Jinnah, it became the official organ of the Pakistan Muslim League in Delhi, and the sole voice of the Muslims in English language, reflecting and espousing the cause of the Muslims of India. Hussain, as the journal’s editor, galvanised the Muslims of India by his editorials, which earned him wrath of the Congress Party as well as Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy and Governor General of the British Raj.

The Dawn Group of Newspapers is Pakistan’s second largest newspaper group, owned by Pakistan Herald Publications Limited (PHPL), which in turn is a subsidiary of the Dawn Media Group.

The group has an array of publications, as it tries to cater to the needs of both the financial and consumer bases. Although it has faced tough competition from the Jang Group since its creation, it has still managed to remain popular.
