Loading ...Mash Ups is a show about how non-technology professionals integrate technology tools into their everyday lives. Naveen Naqvi, an anchor on Dawn News, talks about how she began using social media and social bookmarking tools to involve her audience as part of Pakistan’s most popular English News Channel, Dawn News. When the channel’s morning show, Breakfast at Dawn, was broadcast from Karachi, Naveen began reaching out to her viewers through Facebook and Twitter.
In this episode, we have a very candid discussion about how she started, her experiences involving citizens into mainstream journalism, privacy and issues involving the credibility of citizen journalism.
Be sure and leave your comments or questions for Naveen to respond to!

@M Junaid Khan, Thanks Junaid… Stay tuned for the next episode… We’ve got Allen Simon from Taal Karishma on the show to talk about the Music-Technology Mash up!
A very nice session and surely going to spread the word as to how other such people related to traditional media can adopt technology into their lives. Keep up the good work Rabia!
*laffs.. True that! She is great! As to your question about the audience, it’s diverse. For the regional languages, we’ve started up Sindhi for the daily news updates but want to expand on further, but publish and track is what we’re focusing on. The only challenge in expanding regional languages out to the different shows is the anchor. Since the basis for each show needs to be some sort of tech, finding the balance is something anchors struggle with for television and the web is a far cry from the demand there.
The digital sphere in Pakistan is at an interesting stage – The tens of thousands of digeriti also means tens of thousands of ideas for webcasts and loads of exciting content generation out there. The challenge, however, will remain in the sustainability. One of the reasons for playing to the existing audience is to also support their ideas and ventures. It’s not the one year plan that matters – it’s the 10-year forecast.
Do follow and feel free to poke! Many thanks!
Yes…the background is very distracting…it adds nothing to the content and would better be replaced by something more neutral. The setting is also a bit ‘inert’. I appreciate you are probably on a shoestring budget but…two coffee mugs! Generally liked the content but then NN is hard to fault as a subject. She seems to be the closest thing we have to a polymath within the media these days…comfortable and competent on a range of platforms unlike many of her fellow anchors/presenters who are much more limited in their intellectual breadth and skill-set.
I guess the question that nags in my mind is ‘who sees this’? OK…there are the twitterati/digerati, but they number in the tens of thousands – perhaps – with the rest of the Pakistan population with an internet conn either looking at porn or their horoscope. no matter….a good debut and I will follow with interest. Any plans for similar in, for instance, regional languages? Mukhtar Mai in Seraki?
@Aasiya, Thanks Aasiya! Will keep it in mind for the next episode. What did you think of the content? Any way you think we can improve that?
that background needs to stop flickering, flashing and scrolling..it’s very distracting and *tentatively* epileptic-fit inducing
@Poppy You are being TOO (two) gracious in your appreciation! I’m glad you thought the content was great and I’m just taking it for granted that you’re scheduled for one of the upcoming shows – Look at it this way – it will give you the opportunity to prove your typing skills if nothing else!
Rabia you are the ‘Tim Sebastian’ of the new media and you were interviewing the ‘Tim Sebastian’ of main stream media Naveen Naqvi.. i love it!!
Great interview, especially the part where my typing skills have been disclosed to the world!!
But on a serious note, its great content! Brilliant to see Naveen talk about all the aspects of the new media and how it has affected all our lives.
Good stuff!!
Poppy – yes its really me!!
