About five years ago, Marium Chaudhry, an executive producer at Pakistan’s top news channel, decided to create a start-up aimed at younger people.Her idea for this came about during Pakistan’s 2018 election cycle, when Chaudhry discovered that while the channel she worked for was broadly respected within the country, it was failing to bring in younger audiences who felt disconnected.She learned this wasn’t because the young people were uninterested in the news or didn’t care about what was happening with the elections. They were just interested in different aspects of the issues and the candidates, areas that traditional media were not providing them.
Laboratorio de periodismo es una iniciativa de la Fundación Luca de Tena que nace para tratar de cubrir las necesidades de los periodistas derivadas de la transformación del sector, el cambio disruptivo del negocio de la información y la demanda de nuevos perfiles profesionales en entornos en los que dicha formación no está, en la mayoría de los casos, al alcance de los nuevos profesionales.
