Maniza Naqvi comments: “Of these 9 YouTube audio podcasts are devoted in remembering Razia Bhatti the courageous and passionate journalist and editor who founded Newline-Pakistan’s journalist owned and funded monthly magazine. These […] podcasts remembering Razia Bhatti recreate her in the words of her core team who lovingly point to her as their mentor almost 30 years after her passing. I consider this an important archival document. The Center for Excellence in Journalism at IBA did too and uploaded all 9 of these podcasts on to their website.
