ScoreLine

Introduction

ScoreLine is a cricketing publisher platform from Karachi origins. The platform has an active web presence with a bi-monthly magazine edition, which began its operations during 2015.

Background

Since the partition of the sub-continent, Cricketing Publications were flourishing in the cities of Karachi and Lahore. Noteworthy names included Cricketer, Akhbar-e-Watan and SportsWeek. These publications remained popular in an era where print media was dominant and spirited.

The eventual shift of viewership towards television and later digital greatly affected the print publications which most of the publications had to close down after decades of operations.

The inception of ScoreLine catered to the vacuum existing with lack of publications on Cricket from Karachi. The venture has accordingly been focused on maintaining an active presence towards the web and print media.
