Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is set to honor the legacy of the late journalist Arshad Sharif with the establishment of the Shaheed Arshad Sharif University of Investigative and Modern Journalism, as announced by Chief Minister Sohail Afridi. This new institution aims to become a center of excellence in investigative journalism, dedicated to promoting truth, ethical reporting, and responsible media practices.
The university will offer advanced training in modern journalistic tools and techniques, preparing students to navigate today’s fast-evolving media landscape with integrity and professionalism. Its core mission is to nurture a new generation of journalists who are not only technically skilled but also deeply committed to transparency, accountability, and fearless reporting — values that defined Arshad Sharif’s career.
This initiative reflects a broader commitment to strengthening the role of free and fair journalism in Pakistan, ensuring that future media professionals are equipped to serve the public interest with courage and credibility.
