About

The reporter's journey

Shafqat Ali's career in journalism began in 1994, reporting for Daily Musawat, where early years in the field were shaped by ground-level investigative reporting and daily press coverage in Pakistan's Englisg-language press.

That foundation carried into a national English-language newsroom at The Nation, covering current affairs, politics and public interest reporting for a broader domestic and international readership.

Alongside print, Shafqat has brought that same reporting discipline to broadcast, working internationally with Sky News — extending a career built in Islamabad's press circles onto a global stage, with field experience across the United Kingdom, France, the European Union and Iran.

Based in Islamabad today, Shafqat continues to report, write and consult on regional politics, diplomacy and international affairs — carrying three decades of on-the-ground press experience into every assignment.
