Understand How Pakistan Moves and Works — Within and Across Borders
Veristic Media is a Pakistan-based digital news and analysis platform built to make sense of how Pakistan moves and works — across politics, power, people, and possibility.
Founded and owned by Digital Setups (Pvt.) Ltd., a digital advertising and publishing company co-directed by Shahzaib Nadeem and Aqsa Jamil, Veristic Media represents a new generation of responsible journalism — data-driven, transparent, and audience-conscious.
Our Foundation
Born out of a deep concern for the widening gap between information and understanding, Veristic Media was established to simplify complex realities and provide the public with helpful, truthful, and contextual journalism.
Where traditional channels often amplify noise, we focus on clarity — breaking down the mechanics of governance, economy, and society to reveal how things actually function inside Pakistan and in its relationships abroad.
What began as a digital-first newsroom has evolved into a diverse network of 300+ professionals — including editors, reporters, analysts, reviewers, correctors, and voluntary contributors — working together to bring stories that inform, clarify, and inspire accountability.
Our Commitment
Veristic Media stands on four uncompromising pillars:
- Accuracy over speed — We verify before we publish.
- Integrity over influence — Editorial independence is protected at every level.
- Context over headlines — Every story should deepen understanding, not distort it.
- Transparency over assumptions — From our ownership to our corrections, everything is open for public view.
These principles are woven into our Editorial Standards, Publishing Policies, and Corrections Policy, ensuring every story aligns with our responsibility to the reader.
Who We Are
We are more than a newsroom — we are a collective of researchers, journalists, editors, and digital media professionals driven by one shared purpose: to bring Pakistan closer to understanding itself.
Our directors, Shahzaib Nadeem and Aqsa Jamil, built Veristic Media through their parent company Digital Setups, a trusted name in digital advertising and publishing. Their combined expertise in media, strategy, and digital innovation continues to shape Veristic Media into a forward-looking newsroom where technology meets truth.

Our Approach
Veristic Media’s newsroom operates on data-informed editorial planning, audience-driven insights, and a hybrid model of professional and volunteer contributors.
We believe journalism should not just inform — it should help people understand how systems, structures, and stories connect. That’s why our coverage extends beyond daily news to include policy explainers, deep analysis, and verified opinions from across Pakistan and its diaspora.
Each piece we publish undergoes multi-stage editorial checks under our Content Integrity Policy and fact-verification framework, ensuring it meets both ethical and informational standards.
Our Accountability
Transparency isn’t an afterthought — it’s our foundation.
We maintain open access to our Ownership & Funding, Advertising Standards, and Transparency Reports.
Readers can reach us directly through our Contact Page, report factual concerns through our Correction Form, or submit verified stories and leads via Submit a Story.
The Future We’re Building
Pakistan deserves media that doesn’t manipulate — but educates.
Veristic Media is committed to building a culture of credible, contextual, and constructive journalism — where public trust, not clicks, drives performance.
Through collaboration, technology, and unwavering editorial ethics, we aim to be Pakistan’s most responsible digital publisher — one that informs decisions, not divisions.
