Public News has welcomed Maryam Altaf to its news team as an anchor, marking a significant milestone in her young but steadily evolving media career. This appointment is her first role at a national news channel, coming just eight months after she formally entered the broadcast journalism industry.
Maryam began her professional journey with a city news network, where she gained hands-on experience in newsroom operations and on-air presentation. She later moved on to Lahore News, further refining her anchoring skills and building a strong foundation in live news broadcasting. Her move to Public News represents the next step in this progression, placing her on a national platform for the first time.
A native of Lahore, Maryam holds a degree in Journalism from the University of the Punjab, one of the country’s leading institutions for media studies. Her academic background, combined with early newsroom exposure, has shaped her approach to news presentation with an emphasis on clarity, accuracy, and responsible reporting.
Speaking about joining Public News, Maryam Altaf said,
“Becoming part of Public News at this stage of my career is both an honour and a responsibility. National television brings with it a wider audience and higher expectations, and I am committed to learning, growing, and delivering news with honesty and professionalism.”
With her arrival, Public News continues to expand its on-air talent pool, introducing new voices to its national broadcasts. Maryam Altaf’s induction is being seen as an encouraging step for emerging journalists making their transition from local and regional platforms to mainstream national media.
