I had the opportunity to have a live TweetChat with leading Pakistani journalist Naveen Naqvi.

Naveen Naqvi is a senior anchor at DawnNews and presents the morning news programme, Breakfast at Dawn. She lives in Karachi, Pakistan.

She also contributes to The Huffington Post. Naqvi was raised in Saudi Arabia and was an actress in Pakistan before becoming a journalist.

Here are the tweets from our TweetChat.

    naveenaqvi @fahadzuberi Thx! Tweeting live on BAD has given me direct access to viewers & smart people with strong opinions. It’s most exciting!
  5. Fahad Zuberi
    fahadzuberi @naveenaqvi Alot of critics argue that Twitter is just another technology that will go away soon what are your thoughts on this..
  6. Naveen Naqvi
    naveenaqvi @fahadzuberi Well, it’s true that the way its popularity’s skyrocketed is unprecedented but for now it’s a phenomenon. And FB’s still around
  7. Fahad Zuberi
    fahadzuberi @naveenaqvi Do you feel that tweeting live on air gives you a better connection with your viewers, since you can communicate with them
  8. Naveen Naqvi
    naveenaqvi @fahadzuberi Absolutely. Also, I learn from them. I see a story in different ways bec of the different opinions I get. And it’s all live!
  9. Fahad Zuberi
    fahadzuberi very true, I also read that you write for the Huffington Post, and they are pretty active on Twitter, how has that experience been for you?
  10. Naveen Naqvi
    naveenaqvi @fahadzuberi I have written for HuffPo and have enjoyed it. It’s a completely different style from Dawn for eg where I’m a regular.
  11. Fahad Zuberi
    fahadzuberi @naveenaqvi We all know that the situation in Pakistan is very unstable do you see the situation improving any time soon.
  12. Naveen Naqvi
    naveenaqvi @fahadzuberi I think Pakistan and its people have shown their resilience time and again. I’m optimistic. What other way is there to be?
  13. Fahad Zuberi
    fahadzuberi Does the Kerry Lugar bill sound like a good deal for Pakistan?
  14. Naveen Naqvi
    naveenaqvi @fahadzuberi The crucial question is how the money is spent. Transparency and accountability are essential.
  15. Naveen Naqvi
    naveenaqvi @fahadzuberi I feel the money should be spent right..toward roads, education, health, economic development. That’s the promise. Sounds good.
  16. Fahad Zuberi
    fahadzuberi @naveenaqvi so you feel if the money is given in the right hands it is a good deal.
  17. Fahad Zuberi
    fahadzuberi @naveenaqvi Will Twitter help you when news of a bomb blast in Pakistan is breaking, or have you already used it for something like that.
  18. Naveen Naqvi
    naveenaqvi @fahadzuberi I’ve seen it used very well in emergencies like the Khi rain. It was amazing how tweeps were giving updates on what roads >
  19. Fahad Zuberi
    fahadzuberi @naveenaqvi One final question for how long have you used Twitter and, just by looking at your followers i can tell its been great for you
  20. Naveen Naqvi
    naveenaqvi @fahadzuberi I’ve been active on Twitter since I saw how it was used in Iran after the elections, and I haven’t looked back.
