It was renamed from The Illustrated Weekly of Pakistan in January 1970, which was published from 1948–1969.[5][6][1][7]
It was Pakistan's most widely read monthly magazine, providing in-depth analyses, investigative reporting and an extensive coverage of current affairs. The magazine enjoyed a wide circulation abroad, particularly among academics and Pakistani expatriate communities in the Middle East, United Kingdom and North America.
It stopped publication after its July 2019 issue.[3]
The Herald was never a widely circulated magazine. At its best, its circulation numbered in the thousands, never in the tens of thousands.
