Syed Ali Safvi has been working with Press TV from Indian-administered Kashmir since November 2011.

Over the past 11 years, as a Press TV correspondent and producer, Safvi has provided cutting-edge reports on the protracted Kashmir conflict as well as human rights violations by all sides, natural disasters, and more recently the abrogation of the region's special status and its aftermath. At the same time, he has provided Press TV viewers with a sneak peek of the rich history and culture of this picturesque Himalayan region through features and documentaries.

Safvi has also covered communal riots in India’s northern state of Uttar Pradesh, ethnic violence in the northeastern state of Assam, the conditions of Rohingya refugees in India, and a myriad of problems faced by minority communities in the Hindu-majority country.

Safvi's journalism career spans almost two decades during which his work has been featured in national and international media outlets. He embarked on his eventful journey with local print media in India-controlled Kashmir in 2004, primarily reporting on conflict, security, human rights, culture, tourism, and the environment.

In the initial phase, he worked with prominent newspapers in the Himalayan region, including Kashmir Times, Kashmir Observer, and Daily Etalaat. From a field reporter, he went on to become an editor. Later on, he got associated with Taghrib News Agency, affiliated with the Iran-based World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, as a senior editor.

In between, Safvi also contributed his articles to leading news publications in India and abroad, including the Times of India, The Hindu, Tehelka, Rediff, Tehran Times, et al.

He was nominated for the International ECHO Award in 2009 for his coverage of the Kashmir conflict, alongside internationally acclaimed author and scholar, Arundhati Roy.
