Lahore (MediaBites Web Desk): An official statement has been released by Daily 92 News, clarifying that neither the newspaper nor the channel has been shut down, and it will continue to be published regularly from the respective offices.
Director 92 stated that they have merely moved towards the centralization of the News Desk (i.e., a structural change). Reporting teams from the stations will now provide news to the centrally located News Desk at the Head Office. Several other newspapers are also following this model.
Moreover, in an unprecedented move, we (being the only group) have immediately paid an additional 3 months’ salary and cleared all dues of the redundant employees.
It should be noted that dozens of journalists and press workers associated with Daily 92 have been laid off, which has been condemned by all groups of the Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ).
