Shahzad Ali – Broadcast Journalist | Investigative Reporter | Legal & Aviation Affairs Specialist

I am Shahzad Ali, a mid-career broadcast journalist from Islamabad, Pakistan, with over a decade of experience in investigative reporting, legal journalism, and humanitarian storytelling. With a postgraduate background and a strong foundation in production-focused copywriting, I create compelling narratives across broadcast and digital platforms, aimed at informing, engaging, and driving impact.

Throughout my career, I have covered a wide spectrum of socio-political developments, including high-profile court cases and crisis events. My coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic was recognized for its depth and public service, combining critical health updates, myth-busting reports, and human-interest features.

Over the past eight years, I have built a specialization in judicial reporting, covering landmark cases such as:
The Islamabad High Court’s ruling on the Rights of Nonhuman Animals (2020)
The Supreme Court’s suo moto notice on the burning of a Hindu temple (2021)
The enforced disappearances of Baloch students (2022)
The asylum plea of an Afghan female Hazara soldier (2023)

Currently, I am leading investigative coverage on aviation sector reforms in Pakistan, with a particular focus on:
The privatization of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA)
Outsourcing of Pakistan’s major airports
The resumption of PIA flight operations to the UK and Europe
Broader changes to airport services and aviation policy frameworks
My journalism combines rigorous research with audience-oriented storytelling and production-savvy writing—making complex issues accessible and relevant. I aim to amplify public interest narratives that hold institutions accountable and shed light on underreported stories.
