The Young and The Restless

07-Feb-16 10:00

Journalism is a noble and yet, thankless profession as it helps give voice to the voiceless and provide the public with information. Despite the not-so-glamorous job descriptions, youngsters with aspirations keep signing up, raring to accept the challenge. We speak to three young journalists to learn why they signed up, and how their journeys have been so far.

Here are the segments of the episode:

1:33 - Asia Calling 1 - Genocide Commemoration in Cambodia

9:46 - Asia Calling 2 - The Reopening of Gurudwara Bhai Temple in Pakistan

17:12 - Part 2 - The Young and The Restless

This episode was produced by Aziff Azuddin, Aisyah Tajuddin, Sharyl Kaur, and Muhammad Haniff Baharudin.
