Another Chitrali journalist selected for US programme

ISLAMABAD, May 29: The United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) has selected Mr Zulfiqar Ahmad, a resident of Khuz village in upper Chitral, for undergoing training in American media organizations starting August this year. Mr Zulfiqar works as an Islamabad-based reporter for the daily Business Recorder Karachi and as Editor Reporting for ChitralToday. The visit of Pakistani media persons to the US is being arranged by the American government under the US-Pakistan Professional Partnership Programme for Journalists. It may be noted that Mr Zulfiqar is the second journalist from Chitral to be selected under the US exchange programme. In 2012, Zar Alam Khan, chief editor ChitralToday, visited the US under the same programme and worked with Providence Journal in the Rhode Island. Team ChitralToday congratulates Mr Zulfiqar for the selection and hope this would add to his journalistic experience.
