The Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) has come a long way since its inception, from being a text-only news service to its gradual transformation into a modern news service provider, in line with Prime Minister Imran Khan’s vision of Digital Pakistan.
 
The APP, serving the nation since 1947 by providing an accurate, objective and uninterrupted flow of news to the people, is pursuing a comprehensive strategy to transform the existing news operations into a forward-looking service (APP Digital) committed to providing rich news content including text, photos, videos, and graphics to its diverse subscribers and the public.

The Digital News, once fully mature, will serve as a rich online source of information for the latest news, reports, analytic write-ups on Pakistan, and events and issues of regional and international importance. All these services are being made available on a range of digital platforms.

Adhering to the guiding principles for the Associated Press of Pakistan, the wire service aims at providing authentic news content through its multiple platforms within the shortest possible time, to the widest possible audience. The regular APP news service provides content in English and Urdu. It also has translation services for Sindhi, Siraiki, Pashto, Arabic, Balochi and Brahvi languages. APP is releasing its news photos and videos to regular subscribers through FTP besides its web portal and various social media platforms.
