Pakistan Becomes the Leading Partner of the Innovation Journalism Program with the Stanford University
Islamabad, Pakistan (PRWEB) June 24, 2007 -- Represented by a USAID-funded delegation comprising Competitiveness Support Fund (CSF) officials and journalists, Pakistan made an impressive presence at the Fourth Innovation Journalism Conference at the Stanford University held from May 21-24, thus becoming the first developing country to introduce an Innovation Journalism (InJo) Program for its citizens.
The Pakistani delegation was led by Amir Jahangir, Consultant with the CSF and comprised of Zamir Haider from AAJ Television; and Saida Fazal from the daily Business Recorder.
The Conference brought together professionals from all over the world to discuss the link between journalism and innovation, how innovation is changing the profession and business of journalism, and news coverage of innovation.
The Pakistani delegation made a presentation on the roadmap for the Innovation Journalism in Pakistan, which was greatly appreciated. Delegations from Slovenia and Jordan showed keen interest in learning from the Pakistani model.
Pakistani Fellows attending the Innovation Journalism Program at the Stanford University also made presentations in the special sessions. These included presentations by Zamir Haider, hosted by the CNET News Network; and Saida Fazal, hosted by Fortune magazine.
Pakistan joined the Innovation Journalism program in 2006, through which CSF is sponsoring participation of leading Pakistani journalists in the Innovation Journalism Fellowship Program at Stanford University. With support provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), CSF has budgeted expenditure of US$ 262,000 per year for three years to support this project.
CSF is planning an international Innovation Journalism conference in August 2007. The conference will be organized in collaboration with the innovation journalism program at the Stanford University and the World Economic Forum (WEF). In addition to the innovation concepts, the conference will also build the capacity of the journalists on the nine pillars of the Global Competitiveness Index of the World Economic Forum.
In 2006, CSF ensured the participation of four leading journalists to attend the 9th annual conference of The Competitiveness Institute (TCI), held in Lyon, France.
CSF is a joint initiative of the Ministry of Finance, Government of Pakistan and USAID. It supports Pakistan's goal to become a competitiveness economy by providing input into policy decisions, working to improve regulatory and administrative frameworks and enhancing public-private partnerships within the country.
Support for CSF is part of the $1.5 billion in aid that the U.S. Government is providing to Pakistan over five years to improve economic growth, education, health, and governance.

One of the best-designed sales pieces I've received in years was a come-on for an MIT conference. Every panel implemented the metaphor of a deck of cards in both design and text. Bullets in the form of hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs and subheads like "This session provides you with all the aces you need" carried through the unified theme. After spending so much time exploring this piece, I figured the conference sessions would have something to teach me too, and I signed up.
