MMA: What sort of challenges does being so relatively young pose? RN: I began at Waqt TV in , before the channel launched and I worked on everything from figuring out the satellite costs to structuring the content of the shows. Similarly, my father was a professional editor and journalist who also happened to own the business; and because we have been involved in the content and the business side of things, it means that the kind of work we deal with is varied.
When I began to work there, I was not happy with the kind of content that was being produced.

RN: Newspapers in Pakistan are evolving; they will change more with time and it will not require some great epiphany to bring more changes, because newspapers realise that they are now competing with television as well as social media.
