I plan to cover Pakistan as my beat. The country is going through a major disaster that has “has swept away lives, homes, crops and bridges as weeks of historic rains fuel deadly flash floods. Almost half a million people have been displaced, with vast areas cut off from supplies and power.” Moreover there is a huge political tension in the country, denial of climate change and no press freedom at all.
There is consulate General of Pakistan in NY and a part of Brooklyn is also known as Little Pakistan, so I have an opportunity to talk to public, community leaders or representatives who can reflect on the issues going on back in the country and how it is affecting their lives
