Roznama Dunya fires four reporters abruptly after Islamabad launch
Roznama Dunya has unexpectedly fired four reporters four months post-launch in Islamabad. The abrupt terminations highlight potential issues within the newspaper.

ISLAMABAD: Just four months after their Islamabad launch, Roznama Dunya managers have fired four reporters. The journalists were sacked abruptly without any reason being cited.

Observers say the Urdu-language newspaper that began publishing from Islamabad at the start of the year has been unable to make much of an impression.
