‘Today’s journalism lacks practice of following up on issues’ Karachi April 11, 2021 “What’s missing from today’s journalism is the practice of following up on issues. When you go for an interview, do your background research, ask the tough questions and don’t sleep on it. Get the story out as soon as possible.” Veteran journalist Rahimullah Yusufzai gave this advice during the second Razia Bhatti Memorial Lecture that was held at the Centre for Excellence in Journalism (CEJ) at the Institute of Business Administration (IBA). The lecture series is held to honour Razia Bhatti, the founder editor of the Newsline magazine who is considered one of Pakistan’s most outstanding journalists.
