Changing Up Pakistan provides three major resources for our readers:
- News Briefs - The daily news briefs assess what media outlets are reporting on Pakistan. CHUP! aims to use a spectrum of both Western and Pakistani news sources - including (but not limited) to: the Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France Presse, BBC News, CNN, MSNBC, the Wall Street Journal, Pakistan’s the Daily Times, Dawn, The News, and the Friday Times. The briefs look at the widest array of news outlets in order to deliver a cohesive and up-to-date analysis of what is occurring in Pakistan. Hyperlinks to the news sources are also provided so that readers can explore topics further.
- Interviews - CHUP! provides interviews with influential and notable politicians, journalists, scholars, lawyers, or other figures in or related to Pakistan in order to provide our readers with further insight into the country.
- Contributions - The website also aims to be a platform for young Pakistanis to voice their opinions on issues that are socially and politically pertinent to Pakistan. Although CHUP! does not endorse any opinion and is a neutral blog, it does allow for contributors to publish eloquent and articulate pieces on issues facing the country.
word up.
i couldn’t agree more. i am a twenty-year-old female, born and raised in america but with indian, pakistani, and muslim culture to contend with. Regardless of my mutt genetics, and despite the fact I have only visited karachi twice, i identify with it more then anywhere else because of its culture, people, and infallible sense of hope. The dusty, dilapidated, beetle-juice stained roads have brought me to the doorstep of the university i now attend, in order to obtain a higher education and a more accurate world view in hopes that i will someday be able to help translate the essence of “my pakistan”to the majorities.
