Abstract

This article examines the projection of peasants and rural peoples’ problems in editorials and selective news columns published in one of the lead peasants’ newspapers Weekly Sindhi Hurryet, Karachi, from 1950-1952. It also unpacks the interplay between the editorials and columns to cover the broader beats and enhance the scope of the newspaper. The study exposes that what were problems of peasants, rural dwellers in the formative years of Pakistan, and how newspaper understudy craftily presented them before the policymakers, politicians, and readers. Findings show through editorials that the performance of the Sindh Government was not up to the marking period of study. However, in the news columns, the crime in rural areas reported higher than other issues. Overall, the tone of the editorials’ content is found informative. Although, news columns language inclined towards complaining against the government and its departments.
