Journalism in Pakistan: first phase, 1845 to 1857 by Khurshid, Abdus Salam, 1919-1995 “This book not only traces the development of journalism in the areas now comprised in Pakistan but also throws a flood of light on certain aspects of their history during the period 1845-1857. The origin of newspapers is traced by the author to the institution of newsletters introduced by the first Muslim rulers of the sub-continent a thousand years ago. They themselves had borrowed this institution from the Abbaside Caliphs. The system of newsletters was further developed under the Moghul Emperors. “ from the book review, Pakistan Horizon 19, no. 3 (1966): 267–69.
