Editor's Notes
- The journalism in Pakistan is addressing the usual beats of News, Current Affairs, Politics, Sports, Entertainment, Finance Economics and Business News. What is missing in the news chain is the technology and innovation factor, this really means that the relevancy of news is not at par with the economic development and real issues addressing the economy.
- Pakistan’s Minister of State for Finance announced Pakistan’s commitment to Innovation and Competitiveness, at the Competitiveness Institute’s 8 th annual conference in Hong Kong. The announcement followed on the heels of Finland’s announcement that it, too, was joining the unique Stanford program that places foreign journalists at U.S. publishing giants to work in the emerging field of innovation journalism.
- The Competitiveness Support Fund has been established with the funding of USAID and a matching grant by the Ministry of Finance, Government of Pakistan. The Competitiveness Support Fund (CSF) grows out of a benchmarking exercise that identified a gap in Pakistan’s efforts to become more competitive: the need for a vehicle to finance and support interventions that drive innovation, promote cluster development, establish linkages between academia and industry, encourage formation of innovative business incubator programmes and venture capital, promote knowledge based enterprise development, create better jobs and boost innovation-driven long-term economic growth. The principal objective of CSF is to: 1. Promote knowledge- based enterprise start-ups and increase the productivity of the country’s enterprises, 2. Enhance the quality of the services and create new and better job opportunities, 3. Improve regulatory framework for viable business environment, and 4. Reinforce innovation-driven economic growth.
- Phase One: International Innovation Journalism Program at Stanford Phase Two: Capacity Building of the Working Journalists Phase Three: New Resource Development
- 1) From 2006-2008, leading Pakistani editors will participate in the International Innovation Journalism Fellowship Program at Stanford. 2) Each group of Fellows will, during four to six months, refine their expertise in reporting on innovation and build international collegial networks. 3) The Program will assist in bridging technology and business reporting in Pakistan, and bridging Pakistani reporting with reporting in the US and other countries.

- Capacity Building of the Journalists: This initiative of the Competitiveness Support Fund, Sponsored by the USAID Mission to Pakistan is a Medium to Long term strategy to develop human resource in the media industry. The InJo Fellows from the Stanford University would be asked to share their knowledge with their peers in the industry. Methodology: Training and capacity building workshops would be arranged on specific issues concerning different industries. A group of 10-15 journalists would be selected to participate in these interactive sessions, where one expert from the industry will share his knowledge on the issues, bottlenecks, opportunities and the role of different stakeholders would be discussed. The InJo fellows would share their vision and knowledge on how to report on these issues. The participants would be asked to develop at least 10 reports/packages in the next 12 months on the subject on which they received their training. A panel of senior media and industry experts would be asked to review the reports and select the best report thus nominating the best reporter in the specific industry. The journalist would be rewarded as the prestigious award of the best journalist of the industry by the Competitiveness Support Fund. Note: The interactive sessions would be based on issues concerning innovation, competitiveness and knowledge based enterprise initiatives.
