Read MoreI’ve got 6 years experience in TV news and at only 28 I’ve already worked across multiple continents and speak 3 languages, including English, Hindi and Punjabi. I spent 5 years at CNN-News18 in Delhi, but wanted to expand my career, moving to London for my masters and then working at Bloomberg TV in London. I’ve had experience in both output and input, and I have a strong track record of working accurately and quickly in a high pressure environment. I can produce breaking news in a live TV environment, build a rundown, use both iNews and ENPS, edit soundbites and create graphics for air, deal with talent, and coordinate reporters and outside broadcasts. Urgency and accuracy are key in a TV newsroom, and I have a keen eye for mistakes and things that don’t look right, and I’m proactive in helping to fix them.
At CNN-News18 I started as a Desk Writer cutting sound, visuals and editing packages but soon moved up the ranks from a copy editor role to that of a shift editor or the show producer whereby i took editorial decisions on treatment of stories, angles to be taken, reporters and guests to be fixed and focus on producing a factual, quick and visually understandable nees bulletin. I have spearheaded special shows and world exclusives where I learned to work under immense pressure and timely deliverables.
I’m a fast learner, picking up new concepts quickly, including understanding some in-depth financial and data stories from my time at Bloomberg. Moreover, I was also working with the Social Media team by ideating, creating and producing original content for vertical and horizontal mediums while pushing the TV coverage on respective portals. I believe by working in different types of newsrooms, i have acquired the skills to translate complex topics so they’re understandable by a general audience.
