KABUL, 24 September 2021, (TON): The Afghanistan National Journalists’ Union reported that due to the financial crisis, around 150 print media outlets across Afghanistan have stopped printing newspapers and magazines since the fall of the former government. Many of these outlets continue publishing news online, while some have shut down completely.
Ahmad Shoaib Fana, chief executive of the national journalists union, said “print media has stopped in the country. If the situation goes on like this, we will face a social crisis.”
Ali Haqmal, a journalist working for 8 Sobh newspaper, reports that the outlet is now publishing online. He said “we made efforts to do whatever people expect. We focus on reporting online, and we still try to get the information to the people.”
