5 times journos went all out, from Philip Crowther speaking 6 languages to Chand Nawab's viral PTC

While pursuing journalism, we were taught that a journalist has to step out of her or his comfort zone while reporting. We all learned it as a part of our curriculum, but some took it way too seriously.

Many journalists around the world did a little extra to perform their duties. While sharing the latest news with the world, their efforts became a news piece in itself.

One continued to report even after an accident. The other sat on an angry donkey for his report.

We have compiled a list of such incidents when journalists went all out to complete their piece to camera (PTC). A few of these will leave you shocked while others will make you laugh.

5 TIMES JOURNALISTS DID THE EXTRAORDINARY ON CAMERA

1. 6 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES

This journalist went viral recently for reporting in 6 different languages. While sharing the latest updates from the Russia-Ukraine situation from Kyiv, Philip Crowther presented the news in 6 languages.

Without fumbling, he can be seen speaking English, Luxembourgish, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German live on the camera.

The clip is going viral on social media and people across the world are praising the journalist.

2. JOURNALIST HIT BY CAR

Well not just languages, this journalist showed courage...pro max level.

Things went wrong during live reporting and a TV reporter from Dunbar, West Virginia, got knocked by a car while reporting on live television.

Tori Yorgey, a reporter at WSAZ-TV was slammed by a car but she continued to report.

“I just got hit by a car, but I am okay Tim,” she said.

“I'm okay, we are all good, you know, that is live TV for you. I actually got hit by a car in college too just like that, I am so glad that I am okay,” she added.

3. THE DONKEY GOT ANGRY

In another incident from Pakistan, reporter Ameen Hafeez sat on a donkey during a report.

Ameen is famous for interviewing buffalos. Yes LOL.

The video that went viral has him on a donkey, which seemed quite angry. Towards the end of the video, Ameen Hafeez can be seen falling from the donkey. However, he managed to remain seated and continued to speak.

4. CHAND NAWAB

Remember Nawazuddin Siddiqui's character in Bajrangi Bhaijaan? What an epic scene. He was inspired by a real Pakistani TV journalist Chand Nawab from Indus News, Pakistan.

The real clip from 2008 went viral on social media. In the video, he tries to finish his lines without any interruption and mistakes.

In order to do so, he takes so many remakes that it made for the perfect meme clip.

5. REPORTED HUSBAND’S DEATH

Here’s another brave journalist on the list. Supreet Kaur, a 28-year-old news anchor from IBC24 read out her husband’s accident report on live television.

In 2017, Supreet was breaking out the news of an accident. While doing so, she realised that one of the victims of the accident was her husband.

However, she remained calm and completed her PTC. Later, she rushed to contact her husband as soon as the report ended.
