The ease of access to smartphones and digital platforms has blurred the line between responsible journalism and unverified content creation.

Personal and domestic matters of individuals are frequently exposed on social media under the guise of journalism, causing irreparable harm to reputations and social harmony.It is in response to this alarming decline in journalistic values that Poonch Mirror was established. The newspaper was founded to reaffirm journalism as a disciplined profession governed by principles, rules, and accountability where truth is verified, dignity is respected, and public interest remains paramount.Editorial Leadership The newspaper is led by Khawaja Ajaz Madni, Editor-in-Chief, a senior journalist with over fifteen years of experience rooted in ethical, principled, and public-oriented journalism.
