[edit] Career
Javed Chaudhry was born in a village in the district of Gujrat, Pakistan. He received his degree in journalism from The Islamia University Bahawalpur. He has two sons and currently resides in Shahzad Town, Islamabad.
He started his career in journalism in 1991. He worked at Daily Ummat and Daily Khabrain before joining Daily Jang in 1997. [2]
In January 2008, Javed Chaudhry joined Express News (Pakistan) as an anchorperson of a political Talk show "Kal Tak", in which he analyses current affairs of Pakistan with guests from various think tanks and political parties. [3] This program is gaining prominence rapidly and its viewership is increasing exponentially.
[edit] Style
His columns and books are quite popular in Pakistan especially among young people. In his TV program, he adopts a style whereby an adversarial atmosphere is created among the guests who then slug their views out among themselves. He is popular among young people in Pakistan due to his dramatic style of narrating a topic that captures their attention. In his columns and TV programs, he often narrates motivating and inspiring anecdotes of successful people from different walks of life to leave a lasting impression on the reader/viewer.
Javed Chaudhry is a master craftsman as far his column writing is concerned. He seems to have learned his trade from the masters at various newspapers. However, his TV program, despite being hugely popular, is not there yet; he interviewing style needs to improve and he needs to develop his own niche as his experience grows.
