From Headlines to Real Talk

Staying connected to Pakistan while living abroad isn’t easy. You miss your people, your food, your streets—and even the chaos of the 9 PM news. For me, one habit has never changed: starting my day with Pakistani news over breakfast.

In Pakistan, catching the morning headlines is almost a ritual. That habit followed me to Sweden. But over time, I noticed a shift in how I consumed news—and I think many of you will relate.

Why Traditional TV News Isn’t Enough

Let’s be honest—TV news alone often can’t be trusted to tell the full story. Between commercial pressure, political influence, and biased reporting, finding factual news on mainstream channels has become harder.

Like many, I turned to independent journalists on YouTube. Many are ex-TV anchors now free to speak openly. They explain politics in plain language and report fearlessly.

For example:

• Imran Riaz Khan dives into judiciary and civil-military issues.
• Sabir Shakir often breaks stories before TV does.
• Sami Abraham, Mansoor Ali Khan, and Moeed Pirzada bring distinct perspectives.
• Rising voices like Syed Ali Haider, Siddique Jaan, and Usama Ghazi cover realities often ignored by mainstream media.

The Problem: Scattered Subscriptions

Every morning, I’d open YouTube and search through subscriptions for the latest videos. Sometimes the algorithm helped, sometimes it didn’t. It was inefficient.

So I thought—why not bring them all together?
