Training termed mandatory before entering media field
Writer Ali Sukhanver in his column “For TV anchors and reporters” published in Pakistan Today on August 15 discussed the characteristics required for becoming a television anchor or reporter. While highlighting the skills of TV anchors, the writer criticsed the anchors of state-owned channel PTV and said, “Some of our TV anchors are really endowed with extra-ordinary skills and talent and some of them are brilliantly intelligent; not talking of PTV; but at the same time some are very much innocent rather foolish.”
The writer on one side praised the talent and experience of some big names of television industry, including Kamran Khan, Talat Hussain and Arif Nizami, while on the other hand, he also criticized them as saying, “Most of them wasted so many years of their life in print media working as reporter, news editor and sometimes as copy paster too.”
