Description: Pakistan Times is a community newspaper serving the Pakistani American and broader South Asian population in Northern California. Founded in the early 1990s, it covers local Bay Area events, business, culture, and diaspora issues, alongside national and international news from Pakistan. The publication has played a key role in connecting the Pakistani community through both print and digital formats, offering coverage of cultural festivals, civic engagement, and community milestones.

Its Bay Area edition is part of a long-running Pakistan Times media tradition that began as an English-language newspaper in Pakistan in 1947, later evolving to serve diaspora communities across North America. In California, Pakistan Times remains one of the few Pakistani-led outlets amplifying local immigrant voices, promoting civic awareness, and fostering cross-cultural understanding within the broader South Asian media landscape.
