GVS: What inspired you to become a Journalist?
Fereeha Idrees: Unlike most people around, I always planned to be a journalist. In Pakistan, a lot of people say we accidentally came into this field or after some stage we decided to be a journalist. But for me, I decided when I was in class 3 or 4.
I was reading a chapter from an English book – I think it was the ‘Active English Book’ and my mother was teaching me and I remember, I read one word as ‘Reeeterss’ and she said, No!
No! It’s Reuters. Then she explained the whole chapter to me and it was all about reporters. That day, I decided I wanted to become a reporter.
