 After he began his Knight International Journalism Fellowship with ARY One World, a private, Urdu-language television channel in Pakistan, Adnan Adil Zaidi realized the need for an Urdu TV production training manual. “There was no book or training manual available in Urdu. Even books on media training in the English language are not available,” Zaidi says. The challenge was to develop a document that addressed the basic training needs of television journalists in Pakistan.
