SAMAA TV reporter Sohail Rashid got the title of Investigative Journalist of the Year.
Sohail Rashid from Islamabad got an award for his critically acclaimed report on former CJP Saqib Nisar’s leaked audio.
His investigative report was based on how the words from Nisar’s speeches in 2018 pieced together. Reportedly, some phrases in the audio clip were exact matches with parts of speeches the former CJP did on the two occasions.
Mujeebullah from Quetta has been awarded in the storytelling category.
He has received an award for his story on Hazara women learning martial arts in Quetta.
