Khaama Press

What Khaama Press does

Khaama Press is an independent, founder-owned news agency established in 2010 by journalist and media entrepreneur Khushnood Nabizada, headquartered in Kabul, Afghanistan. The organization operates on a 24/7 basis and publishes news and analysis on Afghanistan, regional affairs, and global developments, with active coverage categories spanning politics, security, business, education, refugee issues, women and girls, and human rights. It serves general news readers in Afghanistan and the global Afghan diaspora, with secondary reach to international humanitarian organizations and NGOs monitoring conditions in the country.

The company's core product is its multilingual news platform, delivered through dedicated website editions in English, Persian (Farsi), and Pashto at khaama.com, supported by a broad social media footprint across Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok, and RSS. The technical foundation is a WordPress-based publishing platform with CDN infrastructure for global content delivery, enabling low-cost multi-language distribution to both domestic and diaspora audiences. Two sub-brands extend the founder's portfolio: ZubLink, a media and digital initiatives company, and 3A1Z Stories, a family-focused storytelling platform covering parenting, technology, AI, and digital safety.

Khaama Press generates revenue primarily through advertising, including banner ads, sponsored content, and multimedia promotions sold on a contact-quoted basis, supplemented by reader donations via a GoFundMe channel. Pricing is not publicly tiered; advertising rates are quoted upon request, with the company describing an automated ad management system that tracks impressions, views, and clicks. The outlet is privately held with no institutional investors, parent company, or disclosed funding rounds, and operates with a small editorial team of 11-50 people.
