Christian Voice, Karachi

Christian Voice, Karachi

The Christian Voice, Karachi is an English-language weekly newspaper of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Karachi, Pakistan.[1] This is the second oldest Catholic publication in Pakistan after the Catholic Naqib, an Urdu-language journal, founded in Lahore in 1929 and published by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lahore.[2] The Christian Voice is printed at the Rotti Press in Karachi.[3]

In 1993 the editor was Fr. Augustine Varkey, who was also vice-principal of Saint Patrick's High School, Karachi.[4]

In 2005, the editor was Robin Fernandez, founder of a Karachi-based human rights group Conscience, secretary for the press watchdog group Journalists for Human Rights and Democracy and on the editorial staff of Dawn, Pakistan's premier English-language newspaper.[5]

Choosing to remain low-tech and not have a web site, the Christian Voice plays a valuable role in disseminating information among the Christian population of Pakistan including the lives and deaths of prominent people and major events around the world.[6]

In 2006, the Archdiocese launched a new weekly Urdu-language paper Agahi which is in the style and format of The Christian Voice.[7]
