Dr. Tahseen Mahmood Aslam appreciates the efforts of a trend-setting Mujeeb-ur-Rehman Shami

Mujeeb-ur-Rehman Shami comes from the long line of people who are dedicated to journalism. He is a self-made journalism wizard who has risen high in his profession and has effectively carved out a niche for himself in the highly competitive genre of journalism. He is one of the few grass-root journalists who successively established his own media house that has gained in credibility over the period of time. His point of view is well-regarded and his analyses are considered imperative signifying future course of action. During his long career Shami has created a veritable yardstick now considered essential in journalistic nuances.
Mujeeb-ur-Rehman Shami is currently the chief editor of Urdu daily Pakistan that heads the circulation figures in the country. He is considered disposed towards centre-right orientation within the mainstream Urdu journalism widely acknowledged to be rightist and, in certain cases, following ultra-rightist tendencies. Shami, however, emphasises the enlightened definition of the national order of matters and is well-disposed towards expressing his point of view rather candidly. He comes off as a well-rounded professional well-honed in prudent analysis based upon unbiased assessment of a given situation.
Mujeeb-ur-Rehman Shami frequently appears on TV channels particularly on Dunya news channel and aptly offers comments on many national issues. He conveys his views in well-designed arguments that usually are based on rationality pointing out to his profound understanding of the affairs he is talking about. His mature analysis also is reflected in his Urdu column appearing in Urdu press. Shami is also credited with initiating issuance of Urdu monthly magazine Qaumi digest that is highly rated in reading circles. Moreover, he also started publishing a weekly Urdu magazine Zindagi that too has a wide readership. In this way Mujeeb-ur-Rehman Shami actually ventured in all three aspects of journalistic activity.
Shami is also known to be active in the professional and welfare affairs of the journalistic community in Pakistan. In this connection he plays an important role in the primary journalistic guild known as the Council of Pakistan Newspaper Editors (CPNE) and had served as its president in 2002. He is usually known for his balanced view about many contentious issues regularly facing the important fields of the print and electronic media in Pakistan. He takes robust stand on the freedom of expression in Pakistan and is known to have been in the vanguard of the consistent struggle between the state authorities and the media houses and journalists for ensuring their constitutional and moral rights.
