What QOM is

About QOM

QOM is a new digital news institution for Pakistan, publishing in Urdu and English. Our aim is institutional grade journalism for the whole country, not only for readers who already have access to it. Our ambition is to become the institution Pakistan turns to for understanding its own story, in the language and on the channels people already use.
