Colonel Faiz Ahmad Faiz", "Captain N. M. Rashid", "Captain Masood Shahid", "Captain (later Colonel) Masood Ahmed", "Hasan Askari", "Javed Khattak", "Inamul Haq Qazi", "Mumtaz Alvi", "Tayyab Hussain" and "Tasawar Ali Haider" stand out. Even after the establishment of Pakistan, this process continued from the military platform. In the army, from the unit level to the corps level, there are treasures of military magazines and journals in various libraries. Even today, dozens of magazines and journals are being published by various military institutions, including Hilal, Sarshad and Delivery, Pakistan Army Journal, Leadership, Alamgirin, Infantry, Bareen, Chanareen, Shaheen, Shaheswar, Izzat and Iqbal, Najjar and Huma. are Thanks to the day and night hard work of the uniformed journalists involved in the convoy of military journalism, there is a spring in the tree of journalism.
