Good Morning Pakistan: Journalists Under Threat
In Pakistan's tribal areas, journalists risk it all to deliver the news.
"Where I come from, women are not usually allowed to get an education," says Khalida Niaz, who went on a hunger strike to convince her father to let her finish school.
Now, she is a radio newsreader for the Tribal News Network, which broadcasts across Pakistan's troubled border region with Afghanistan.
Reporting the news here can be deadly - threats by armed groups have shut down most media outlets. But Khalida and her colleagues know there are some stories that only women can tell.
