Salam was the editor of ''The Pakistan Observer'' from 1949 to 1972. There was a break in the distribution of the newspaper from 1952 to 1954, when it was banned by the government. Salam wrote an editorial in 1952 comparing the nepotism of one of the early caliphs with that of Prime Minister [[Khawaja Nazimuddin]]. The article was interpreted as blasphemous. In 1954 the balance of political power changed and the ban on the ''Observer'' was lifted.
