ISLAMABAD – When JournalismPakistan.com arrived on the worldwide web on October 24, 2009 our first post was titled ‘iSAMAA…connecting the human story’ (http://journalismpakistan.com/stories/1.html).
The story was about the launch of a Samaa TV’s online citizen journalism portal www.isamaa.tv. “At iSAMAAanyone can become a citizen journalist and report from anywhere,” said the channel’s CEO Amir Jahangir at that time.
From that first story began an eventful journey that saw hundreds of exclusive news and opportunities being posted on JournalismPakistan.com – news which drew a lot of attention.
We reached the 1000th story (http://www.journalismpakistan.com/story/1000.html) landmark on September 17 last year and the post related to American journalists arriving on a study tour of Pakistan as part of an exchange program between the two countries.
"The 1000th post was a huge psychological boost for us. It vindicated all we believed in. Reaching this milestone proved we were on the right path and doing the right thing,” the website’s Founder and Chief Editor Steve Manuel said.
“It is quite satisfying to have come this far,” says Imran Naeem Ahmad, Co-Founder and Managing Editor of JournalismPakistan.com. “I say satisfying because the journalist community has benefitted in some way from what we have been able to do.
“I know of journalists who have found jobs through posts on our website and others who have gone on prestigious foreign fellowships; it is heartening therefore to see our work is proving beneficial.”
If my call is so important to them, why don’t they answer it for 22 minutes?
How come when I want to, but something specific online is the only item out of stock.
When I get into a queue or lane going fast, the moment I get in, it becomes the slowest and refuses to budge.
