About
Naveen Naqvi is a broadcast, online and print journalist. Until January 29, 2010, she was a Senior Anchor at Pakistan’s first English Language channel, DawnNews. During her stint with DawnNews, she presented the morning news program, Breakfast at Dawn. Naveen devised the format of Breakfast at Dawn to include social networking sites Facebook and Twitter, making her an innovative journalist, the first to tweet live on air in Pakistan. She may have left the program and channel, but the format continues to be used by them for that and other shows. She quips that even as others follow her lead, she’ll still be the first!
In July 2009, Naveen started writing with the blog section of Dawn’s website and soon after for The Huffington Post.
The idea behind converging the two media – ‘new’ and ‘mainstream’ – was to give a voice to the liberal, educated and otherwise, unheard Pakistanis. The more selfish reason is that she loves it!
As a journalist, Naveen was invited to the Eurasian Media Forum in April 2009 and April 2010. At the former event she interviewed former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and chaired a panel discussion with leading analysts and journalists on media management of Gaza conflict. Some of the better known names were George Galloway and Gideon Levy. At this year’s EAMF event, she was a panelist on the World Economic Forum’s session for Networked Journalism.
Also in 2010, Naveen was invited to the Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum Climate Change conference where she was a panelist discussing how the social media can benefit journalists reporting stories of our ever-transforming world.
More recently, she was invited on a panel of Pakistan’s top seven journalists to interview the visiting US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.
Prior to DawnNews, Naveen worked from 2002 – 05 as Producer Pakistan of NBC News. She started off as a fixer and worked her way up to bureau chief. Here she worked on news stories for Nightly News and Today show, conducted on-camera interviews, reported breaking news for MSNBC, wrote stories for MSNBC.com, and managed the Islamabad bureau. She assisted in the coordination of two interviews with General Pervez Musharraf – one for Tom Brokaw.
Naveen has also been (in another life) an entertainment television production manager, television actor and model. As the presenter for Music Channel Charts, she did another first for Pakistani TV when she became the first VJ ever.

The versatility of Naveen Naqvi is reflected in her work. People like her are a source of inspiration to millions
I think that print media and broadcast media are no longer the primary communication modes. More people read the article online than in the newspaper due to the online version being global, free and around forever. the dead tree version has a limited shelf life.
It has observed also , that In this Social media (‘many-to-many’ communications) era, various online users don’t read any mainstream media directly. They mostly prefer to go by the online recommendations, they receive from their trusted sources. Because being a member of social network people are continually updated through the news-feed of the social networks.
“Its really glad to see people like you from traditional media to social media. I am sure that here you can organize things as never before.”
We are expecting a lot form this wbelog and wish you a great endeavor.
Naveen, you are a role model for all educated young Pakistani women and men who take up media as a profession. Good going. One looks forward to seeing more of you in this role.

Dear Naveen,
You are doing awesome, I appreciate your work.
I would be thankful if you could write over the bitter situation of FATA particularly my hometown Parachinar, where the life of layman is in hell from last many years.
I have written more than thousand of articles in this regard but words of a person like you can heal the wounds of people living there.
In this regard any information if required and assistance I can provide you.
Thanks
I just stumbled onto your webpage here after studying the writings of Ann Marlowe. I was not expecting a women to be permitted professional work as a journalist in Pakistan; I now remember that Pakistan has a culture that has a middle class whose vision faces west.
Your country is in distress regarding its ability to manage its affairs with the United States long term with so much domestic, racial, ethnic conflict! I worry about Pakistan! I worry that women like you cannot realistically claim any status to effect the future of Pakistan. Nevertheless, you must continue in your work. Pakistan needs more Oriana Fallaci’s like you.
Peace,
William Holland
