Shahid-ur Rehman (1946–2020) was a Pakistani journalist known for his reporting on economics, finance, and the nuclear industry.[1][2]
Career[edit]
Rehman began his career in 1971 at Pakistan Press International and later served as the Karachi bureau chief for Morning News.[3] Rehman also worked as a correspondent for Kyodo News Agency, a Japanese news organization, and contributed to Nucleonics Week, a publication focused on the nuclear industry and proliferation issues.[3] Kyodo recognized his coverage of the September 11, 2001 attacks and his 2005 interview with then-President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf, regarding the transfer of nuclear technology to North Korea by Pakistani nuclear scientist A.Q. Khan.[3]
Rehman authored multiple books including, Who Owns Pakistan, a study on wealth concentration in Pakistan, published in May 1998, and Long Road to Chagai, a history of Pakistan's nuclear program, released in May 1999.[3][4] He also contributed to various publications, including McGraw Hill, Asia Week, North-South News Agency, and the International Herald Tribune.[3]
Along with fellow journalist Ziauddin, Rehman played a role in establishing the Senior Journalists' Forum in Islamabad, which held meetings at the National Press Club library.[3] However, following the deaths of Rehman and Ziauddin, the Forum's activities diminished.[3]
Rehman died in April 2020 at the age of 74 while working on his book Pakistan: The Reckoning Begins.[3]
