TNN

Today, TNN is a leading news provider and capacity-building organization, with correspondents covering all Pashtun areas, including Quetta in Baluchistan. The network also trains university students and local journalists in emerging areas... The Tribal News Network (TNN) was established in 2011 to address the information vacuum in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), a semi-autonomous region in Pakistan. For decades, the approximately 5 million residents of FATA lived under colonial-era laws that restricted fundamental freedoms, including speech, assembly, and publication. Following the 9/11 attacks, the region faced increased militancy, which further disrupted the lives of local communities. Mainstream media coverage, however, focused primarily on militancy and Talibanization, often perpetuating negative stereotypes about the local population.
