<br />
With over five billion cell phones in use, over 100 million smart phones sold per quarter (Q4 2010), 600 million Facebook users (Jan 2011), one billion Google search queries per day (Mar 2011) journalism is no longer a gatekeeper of mass communication and knowledge dissemination. As the impact of print and broadcast diminishes, gatekeeping is evaporating, and the business of journalism has joined the innovation economy.</div>

The innovation ecosystems are ruling the futures of all people on the planet. Innovation is not only offering people improvements in their lives, it is also posing a number of threats to both individuals and societies. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All people with an interest in the issue are welcome, journalists, communicators, academic researchers, innovation analysts, stakeholders in innovation ecosystems, and others. We are looking forward to a vibrant multi-stakeholder discussion!<br />
Welcome!<br />

Falling costs and exploding access to information and communications technologies are enabling new models for governance, businesses and social organisation – and journalism is no exception.<br />
<br />
For 10 years, the Global IT Report from the World Economic Forum has provided data and thought leadership to guide policy-making and private-public dialogue around improving national competitiveness through access to technology. However, as IT becomes ubiquitous, it becomes less important to know the number of people who have access to it, and more valuable to know what people are doing with it. But this very ubiquity creates a unique challenge in how we can frame, capture and measure this transformation.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

She has over 7 years of experience in media and communications pertaining to key functional areas covering research and content development. She has been a professional broadcast news editor and has worked in leading news channels in Pakistan; both in Urdu and English where she has been designing and developing content for news, current affairs and other special assignments.<br />
<br />
Her forte is to enable the concepts of knowledge collaboration & information sharing by developing strategic content and outreach communication techniques that have an impact on the socio-economic developmental models. She contributes on matters of energy, food security, water, national security and media’s role in covering issues impacting globalization.<br />
<br />
Puruesh has been delivering lectures on media’s role in economic development at the World bank, Harvard University, U.S. State Department’s Special Initiative on Tech@State. Along with other platforms in Pakistan.<br />
<br />
After a successful career in the media industry, Chaudhary identified gaps in the content being generated and its impact on the realities of the society. Puruesh Chaudhary launched a new venture in 2010, Foxtrot Consultants with the intention of building capacity of the stakeholders on different verticals that create news on daily basis. She is managing and developing content on issue-based initiatives in Pakistan, that have an economic and socio-political impact with a possibility of resulting in either internal or external conflicts.<br />
<br />
Chaudhary’s role as the Director Content and Editor-in-Chief for Mishal, requires her to develop conceptual terms on key development indicators and functional areas that covers research and development, which facilitates monitoring and evaluation with multiple contingencies. Her objective to formulate, implement and evaluate Strategic Content and Outreach Communications is through assessing internal and external situations. <br />
<br />
She has an indepth understanding of the social, political, economic and technological unaddressed challenges, which could be the means of enticing radicalization in the society. Chaudhary believes that if these challenges are not dealt with will potentially add more nuisances to global unrest and pose grave threats for societal co-existence in the coming years.<br />
<br />
Prior to being a part of the “Media Development Initiative” by shaping the future of Journalism, Chaudhary was working in Samaa TV, heading the forward planning. She was responsible for generating and implementing original thoughts and concepts related to news and programming while integrating the channel’s initiatives. She enabled the channel to create content on international indicators for economic growth and sustainable development issues; bringing global perspective.<br />
<br />
In December 2006, Chaudhary joined DawnNews as a professional broadcast journalist/editor. Her position required her to generate and edit content, create rundowns, manage packages and produce regular Live bulletins for the station.<br />
<br />
During her short tenure at the Coca Cola Export Corporation, she was handling the corporation’s public affairs, CSR-activities and their European edition. Within the automotive industry; she worked with Porsche’s Management in setting up their Operations in Lahore and Karachi.<br />
<br />
