See'n'Report wins at Best of e-Inclusion and e-community at P@SHA ICT Awards 2008

Its been few months since we launched See n Report (People Powered News platform). The prime motive behind the idea was to



  • Provide a platform that equips an ordinary person to create news.

  • To act as a catalyst for responsible media that represents people.

  • To make it as easy as just Snap and Send.


These three points pretty much sum up our vision which is "Make News, Be Heard and Bring Change" . During these months (through common people out there) we provided mile by mile coverage of big political events like Long March, promoted several education activities like SOFTEC ( with our live coverage support ), raised sensitive issues like customer data privacy and under age driving, hosted citizen feedback like Sasti Roti, brought e-sports news to main stream and many others. Meanwhile See n Report was under a continuous improvement process with features like mobile reporting platform, fully slice and dice-able RSS feeds, dynamic reporter profiles, video support, live blogging through mobiles/notebook etc.


Finally on the night of 31st October 2008 all these efforts were recognized when See n Report Won Best Startup award in e-Inclusion & e-Community Applications category in P@SHA ICT 2008 awards.( P@SHA: Pakistan Software Houses Association for IT & ITES)


Now its about time we press the paddle. We invite every blogger, socially/politically aware person, some one who has an eye for good or bad happenings around him, a person with a mobile, students of journalism and everyone else to be the part of this moment and help us in shaping up the future of news.


More Details of the media coverage will be updated on See n Report.
