It is indeed our great Pakistan’s leading news and photo point (Anti Crime) to you. This is Pakistan’s best bilingual news and photo wire service, dedicated to issues that are neglected by the mainstream media. We focus on national and global processes affecting the economic, social and political development of the people of Pakistan in particular and the region in general. We disseminate genuine as well as useful information to the nation and the people across the globe.
Anti Crime is different from contemporary Pakistani news agencies in many ways. There has been a very strong feeling in the outside world that there is no credible and independent source of information in Pakistan, chiefly because the electronic media, including radio and television networks are state-owned.
It was in this background that Mr.Rana Dilawar Ali, the company’s Chairman thought of setting up a news network worthy of credibility at home as well as in the foreign world. Mr.Rana Dilawar Ali, who has been a journalist in his own right and now Chief Executive Anti Crime initiated this project in January 2012.
Chairman’s primary concern was to build a highly professional team of reputable journalists, and marry it with state-of-the-art technology. Following these objectives, each journalist was selected on merits to ensure maintaining high journalistic values and each equipment was specially designed to cater to the modern day needs. This was done, keeping in view, that we were at the turn of the century and as a nation we have to enter the next millennium with dignity and honor.
After attaining the status of a credible and most subscribed news/photo service provider in Pakistan, we later launched our English/Arabic news and pictures service for daily, weekly and monthly publications across the globe.
Anti Crime is the first-ever Pakistani news agency operating English and Urdu news services simultaneously along with comprehensive national and international photo coverage. Our news reports often appear in the national and international print media while our photographs dominate news pages in most of the newspapers coming out from Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta besides some leading papers in the Middle East, Europe and the United States.
In English and Urdu languages, we offer information packages to suit diverse needs; both local and international publications, print and electronic media, dailies and weeklies, magazines and periodic journals, specialized and subject-specific publications. We are also equipped for prompt dissemination of breaking news to the print and electronic media around the world.
Today, we are proud to operate off a root network purpose-built for Anti Crime in the United States. Naturally, our transmission quality and timings match any other big news agency of the world.
The constituent elements of Anti Crime are an independent policy, a pioneering spirit, a highly motivated professional core team, state-of-the-art technology, strategically located Bureaux and Correspondents spread all over Pakistan, and above all a sense of mission.
INDEPENDENCE
An independent policy is the very substratum of the credibility for a news organisation. Naturally, everyone in the business claim they are independent. Few, however, appreciate what independence actually takes, and how difficult it is to uphold.
Anti Crime deems its financial independence to be the bedrock of its policy independence. A single-owner proposition from day one, the organization has kept its hands clean of any government grant, party contribution, or philanthropic endowment, and has a firm determination to always keep things this way.
Equally important at Anti Crime is intellectual independence, for vested interest groups have traditionally found it a breeze to infiltrate the ranks of media organisations with their henchmen. At Anti Crime, however, we have been able to foster a strong tradition of liberal thinking in a brief span of time so that any of our key members would feel disgraced if seen to be biased.
HIGHLY MOTIVATED PROFESSIONAL CORE TEAM
Anti Crime core team is made up of some of the most distinguished figures of the industry in their respective spheres of skill, plus some of the most brilliant prospects. A delicate blend of experience and freshness, the crew, pitted against several practised combinations, has come out a winner in many situations.
STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY
No media organisation in Pakistan is tapping computers and the Internet as extensively as Anti Crime. Our desk is fully computerised, as is reporting and of course, dissemination. Our photographers, too, are equipped with digital cameras.
Power-packed PCs, most modern optical scanning devices, and fastest network and communications’ cards have together contributed significantly to making Anti Crime a formidable opponent for the competition. In fact, although we are located south of the Digital Divide, we virtually operate north of it.
