As The Friday Times's assistant editor, I was on the editorial board and was responsible for managing the entire content of the 32 page weekly. Supervising the entire task of commissioning reporters, feature and op-ed writers, I was responsible for editing the content and finalizing layouts for the newspaper. This also involved writing for the newspaper on a daily basis. With a deep interest in photojournalism, having freelanced with AP and Reuters, I contributed with my photo essays. I've worked for 5 years with Daily Times, one of Pakistan's leading and progressive English dailies. People I worked with and trained went on to establish newer English publications like Newsweek Pakistan and Express Tribune. I worked on the front-back section of the newspapers, which required strong and responsible editing skills, as the pages carried crucial current affairs. In addition to editing the pages, I started my career of reporting and photographing for the city pages, often making the front pages. I climbed the ladders of success in those years and was later hired by The Friday Times as their assistant editor. The Friday Times is one of Asia's most respected English independent weeklies.
I recently completed my MA in Global Journalism from Europe's best journalism school at the University of Sheffield...
