Four reporters quit The Nation, move to Daily Times
Four reporters have resigned from The Nation to join Daily Times in Islamabad. Their move was prompted by the arrival of a new Resident Editor and the promise of higher salaries.

ISLAMABAD: Four reporters have quit The Nation in Islamabad to take up jobs at the rival Daily Times.

The resignations of Ahmed Ahmadani, Asim Qadeer Rana, Sikandar Shaheen and Amir Jalil Bopra came following the arrival of new Resident Editor Salman Masood, a JournalismPakistan.com source says.
