Afghan-Australian Journalist Yalda Hakim Wins UK Presenter of the Year Award
Afghan-Australian journalist Yalda Hakim has won the Royal Television Society’s Presenter of the Year award for her work with Sky News.
Sky News announced on Thursday that Hakim was unable to attend the award ceremony as she is currently reporting from the Middle East.
Over the past year, Hakim has conducted interviews with several prominent global leaders and senior officials. One notable interview was with Pakistan’s Khawaja Asif, in which she questioned him about Pakistan’s alleged role in financing and training terrorist groups. Asif acknowledged that Pakistan had carried out “dirty work” for the United States for three decades.
Born in Afghanistan and raised in Australia, Hakim joined Sky News in 2013 and has become one of the network’s leading international presenters.
The Royal Television Society awards are among the most prestigious honors in the British television industry, recognizing excellence in journalism and broadcasting.
