Wazir is to be deputy features editor of T2. He is currently a reporter.
T2 editor Sandra Parsons commented: “Burhan is an outstanding reporter with that rare combination of strong experience in both features and news writing. I am confident that he will be a great addition to the T2 editorial team.”
Wazir has recently returned from covering the conflict in Iraq. Before joining The Observer, he worked as a writer at a number of titles including The Face, I.D. magazine and Dazed & Confused.
