Aishah Hasnie, anchor and reporter of FOX59 Indianapolis talks about her passions, experiences and challenges as a journalist, commenting on the similarities and differences in news reporting in the West and the East. Interning at the age of 18 with major network affiliates in Illinois and Indiana, Hasnie interned for GEO-TV in Pakistan where she experienced gender inequality and discovered that most reporters and producers were motivated by the new found freedom of press in Pakistan and had little or no formal journalism education, or a set of journalism standards as a benchmark. Prior to working at FOX59, Hasnie put to use her skills as an investigative reporter with WANE-TV in Fort Wayne, Indiana which led to changes in the Indiana legislature’s “voyeurism” law.
