Xnews! Story

X-news was launched on 18 April 2009 at Bahria University Islamabad Campus by three students. This service was initially available only on cell phones as the news updates were sent as sms and within a month X-news website was launched. The website attracted a decent traffic and received good reviews not only from Bahrian's but also from students of other universities and colleges. Meanwhile the news subscriber grew at an exponential rate and in few months it became a brand name in the Campus! Now X-news was available on web and also on cell phones for free!

X-news crossed a milestone in August 2009 when it expanded from Bahria University to the prestigious Ghulam Isa Khan Institute. Now X-news also covered GIKI hence its subscribers and the network expended. Another milestone was crossed in November 2009 when University of Central Punjab also joined the X-news network. Now X-news was present in two provinces and in three major universities of Pakistan! University of Central Punjab really appreciated the network and it's two student societies are closely working with the dedicated X-news team. After UCP, Pakistan's one of the biggest universities, National University of Modern Languages (NUML) joined the X-news network.

X-news' success can be appreciated by the fact that in a period of just seven months it has grown from a stand-alone news service of 17 subscribers into a network which now has thousands of subscribers in four major universities! X-news is already being sited as one of the fastest gowning student news networks in Pakistan by critiques! One thing is certain that X-news has a bright future and has potential of reaching tens of thousands of students through its free sms service, website & other platforms.
