Meet our afternoon anchor Moosa Wasym. I first saw him on the air during the first TVM newscast the we watched in the Maldives. It was horribly produced, but he plowed through the endless on-camera reads with good energy and a killer smile. His body language showed that he was taking charge of the desk and taking a few tips from the anchors he sees on international news networks like AlJazeera English.
Wasym is 24 and worked in the resort industry before going into TV news full time. He was on the road with President Gayoom's official trip during the first two weeks we were here. He came down with food poisoning and had to be hospitalized in Sri Lanka. Now that he is back, we know that he's the right choice for our mid-day 2 and 4 p.m. newscasts.
Yesterday there was a boat factory explosion on one of the islands. Team Wasym was all over it, with live interviews and a report from the scene, plus an update as one of the badly injured workers was airlifted to Male for treatment. Go team Wasym!
