Hello, I’m Tom Philpot.
I’m a BJTC-accredited journalist with a Master’s degree in Broadcast Journalism from City University, London. With a strong foundation in newsroom practices and multimedia storytelling, I’ve developed a deep understanding of international news dynamics and media ethics.
Currently, I am working as a news presenter at AsiaOneNews in Karachi, where I anchor live TV bulletins and report on key regional and global developments. My work focuses on delivering accurate, timely, and engaging news coverage for diverse audiences across platforms. I joined the team in early July 2025, to help them test and set up their news news channel prior to launch. AsiaOneNews is Pakistan’s first-ever English language news channel, it aims to connect with global audiences and share news from a regional point of view.
It promises a fresh perspective on events and issues shaping Asia and beyond. AsiaONE’s mission is to present stories in a way that resonates with international viewers. Being involved with the team and presenting the news on the daily basis for this new channel is extremely rewarding and exciting for me.
From in-depth interviews to breaking news, I aim to bring clarity and and credibility to every story I tell.
