waheed khan’s Biography
I consider myself the complete media person. Having worked in major English newspapers, Pakistani and international wire services, filed stories and articles for foreign publications and finally having tasted television as a content head, senior anchor and host in Pakistan's leading sports channel, Geo Super.
Since 1988 I have been a full time working journalist or media person.
Presently I am churning out stories for the Press Trust of India and some other foreign publications and keep active on my Twitter account on the Pakistani sports scene because after ten years in television I have recently stepped down and am now looking for new challenges.
I have specialised in sports reporting and shows with lot of focus on cricket and field hockey but being a passionate sports lover I am up to date with other sports as well particularly Football.
Having spent 15 years as sports correspondent with Pakistan's national English daily, The News for 15 years (1990-2005) I travelled a lot to cover all major sporting events including Summer Olympics, Cricket and Hockey World Cups, Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, bilateral series and commanded a reputation of being a expert on breaking stories.
Also after having worked for Reuters in Pakistan as their main sports reporter from 2002 to 2015 I also got a chance to join them as staff correspondent for two years in which period I extensively covered all major political, general stories, major events like the 2005 Earthquake, terror attacks and so on. I enjoyed working on special feature stories for Reuters.
I resigned from Reuters as staff correspondent to pursue a career as head of sports with Geo English Channel in 2007 but kept on working for Reuters as their sports stringer.
Having tasted and achieved a lot in print and electronic media I am now focussing on digital media with its growing importance. I plan to very soon launch my own blog site and you tube shows.
I remain open to other challenging and interesting offers and assignments given my expertise and proven capabilities in both print and electronic media and having specialised in sports but also done a lot of work in political, general, human interest areas.
Have always found working for a foreign publication, wire service or channel very interesting as it offered me a lot more scope to do exclusive and ground breaking stories.
