ISLAMABAD — Veteran journalist Munawar Naqvi, Resident Editor of Financial Daily International, passed away on Sunday at the age of 74, leaving behind a rich legacy in Pakistani journalism.
Naqvi’s career in the media industry spanned more than five decades, during which he contributed to some of Pakistan’s leading newspapers and played an important role in shaping editorial practices.
He began his journalism journey at Daily Sun as a proofreader in 1970, heading that section while also assisting the Resident Editor in editing columns. Among the notable features he worked on were the popular “Gossip in the Library” and the “Letters to the Editor” section.
After nearly five years, Naqvi’s dedication and sharp editorial skills earned him a promotion to Associate Editor, where he was responsible for the City pages as well as the Sports pages whenever the section head was unavailable. In 1976, he advanced to become the edition-in-charge, overseeing the publication of the Rawalpindi Edition and the Lahore Local Edition.
In 1979, Naqvi joined The Muslim, one of the country’s prominent English-language newspapers, where he managed multiple editions, editing and rewriting stories submitted by senior reporters. His reputation for accuracy and precision made him a trusted editorial figure.
Beyond journalism, Naqvi devoted nearly 28 years of his professional life to the Higher Education Commission (HEC), contributing his expertise in communications and management. Afterward, he briefly worked at Dateline Islamabad before joining Financial Daily International in 2012, where he served as Resident Editor until his passing.
Known for his skills in crisis communication, translation, headline writing, breaking news, and event management, Naqvi was widely respected as a media and communications professional who left a lasting mark on Pakistan’s journalism landscape.
