Newsline’s December 2011 issue is about to hit newsstands. Here’s what you will find inside.

In this month’s cover story, Fahd Husain highlights how the events of November 2011 have transformed the political battlefield in Pakistan. Imran Khan and his “PTI tsunami,” Memogate and the NATO strikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers have all vastly altered the dynamics between the nation’s political foes at a time when all parties are strategising for the coming elections.

The outcome of the Memogate scandal, whatever it may be, will leave a permanent imprint on the domestic political landscape. Aman Azhar provides a sneak peek into some of behind the scenes goings-on and examines how the explosive scandal has the potential to reduce the presidency to ashes.

Also available in the issue is an analysis of India and Pakistan’s precarious relationship from two different perspectives. First is an exploration of the subject by respected Pakistani journalist Ghazi Salahuddin. This is followed by an overview of Indo-Pak relations by renowned Indian journalist Nirupama Subramanian.

Elsewhere in the magazine, look for an exploration of the ugly side of cricket: corruption. Match-fixing in the sport has risen over the years. Newsline has an interview with famous cricketer and coach Rashid Latif, who first brought the issue to light over a decade ago.

A profile on the famous political cartoonist Feica reveals his journey to becoming a much talked about artist.

Also this month, Newsline gets busy grading children’s extracurricular activities and picks the best options out there.
