The source further stated that Kabul News TV’s dissolution added to the number of people, particularly reporters and journalists, who had lost their jobs since the Taliban seized power.
According to the source, at least 60 employees of Kabul News TV lost their jobs as the private news channel stopped operations.
Abdul Karim Khorram, a close associate of former Afghan leader Hamid Karzai, founded the private TV network Kabul News. The office of Hamed Karzai funded the budget of this media, which had its own set of guidelines.
According to statistics, 48% of Afghanistan’s visual and audio media have ceased operation as a result of different issues since the fall of the republic regime, a major setback in the history of media in Afghanistan.
