Wearing a lot of “Hats” this wonderful lady can be seen to be shooting, presenting, writing and even editing content to be aired to viewers. She is constantly on the search of stories, researching for news in and around the city of Edinburgh. Zara is a reporter, video journalist and presenter for STV. So what would it be like being in this role? Demanding, it takes a lot of ambition and drive to fill these shoes. There is a lot of competition in this line of media. One must be prepared to start from the bottom, submitting stories and video content, becoming a runner, internships. All of these at no financial compensation. But the reward for the hard work and determination is priceless. “I love talking to people and getting paid for it - is great!” Life in this industry gives you a chance to meet new people, be involved in new experience and learn. Remembering that “Every day is a school day!” Zara can be seen on The Fountainbridge show which airs on Virgin channel 159, Sky 117 or Freeview 23 at 7:05pm http://player.stv.tv/summary/fountainbridge-show/ Zara Janjua Journalist/Broadcaster
