When she died at the age of 52, the Pakistan Press Foundation called it "end of a golden chapter of journalism in Pakistan." Bhatti founded Newsline magazine with the help of other female journalists after leaving Herald magazine. She was editor of Pakistani magazine Herald for 12 years and then she founded Newsline and edited it for 8 years. In 1994, Bhatti received the “Courage in Journalism” award from the New York-based International Women's Media Foundation.[1] Early lifeBhatti was born in 1944 at Karachi. She did her Masters in English and Journalism from Karachi University and then decided to join the professional journalism.[1] JournalismBhatti's professional career spanned thirty years. In 1967 she joined the Pakistani magazine The Illustrated Weekly of Pakistan, later renamed as The Herald and turned into a monthly publication with focus on current and political issues. Bhatti became the assistant editor of Herald in 1970 and editor in 1976. The censorship imposed on press during General Zia-ul-Haq's martial law did not deter Bhatti and she continued reporting. "General Zia once got so infuriated that he waved a copy of her article at a press conference and said he would not tolerate such journalism," recalls Beena Sarwar in her article, Razia Bhatti and Najma Babar: Two Champions of Independent Journalism in Pakistan. After she was pressurized to write in support of the policies of General Zia's regime, Bhatti resigned from the magazine.[1] Founding NewslineAfter receiving pressure to curb her writing most of her team of journalists resigned from The Herald along with her and together they established a new current affairs magazine called Newsline. Newsline was first published with Bhatti's editorial note in July 1989, that began, {{Quote|text=Forty-two years down the road from independence, this nation seems to have bartered away the promise of its birth. To a whole generation of Pakistanis, fear, violence, authoritarianism and deceit represent the norm, for they have known no other. .... The press in Pakistan shares the guilt of this nation's state. It has been silent when it should have spoken, dishonest when it should have been forthright, succumbed when it should have stood fast.}}The Newsline magazine under Bhatti's editorship covered a number of issues including drug cartels, ethnic and fascist political parties, militant Islamic groups, a president's son-in-law, a prime minister's spouse and successive governments in her career. She broke taboos and transgressed limits imposed on freedom of expression by authoritarian regimes as well as a conservative society. Throughout her career, Bhatti was driven to present unbiased, accurate and comprehensive reports on issues affecting the people of Pakistan.[1] Personal lifeBhatti was married to Gul Hameed Bhatti and had two children Kamil and Sara. Bhatti died in 1996 at age 52.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|title=Razia Bhatti (1944-1996)|url=http://www.journalismpakistan.com/hall-detail.php?hallid=11&pageid=famed|website=www.journalismpakistan.com|accessdate=8 December 2016}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bhatti, Razia}}2. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Mcg Thomas Jr.|first1=Robert|title=Razia Bhatti, 52, Who Headed Crusading Journal in Pakistan|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/18/world/razia-bhatti-52-who-headed-crusading-journal-in-pakistan.html|accessdate=8 December 2016|publisher=The New York Times|date=18 March 1996}} 4 : Pakistani women journalists|1944 births|1996 deaths|University of Karachi alumni |
