General Information

About Saman:	As a media professional, it has been interesting for me to witness and study how social media networking re-defined journalism over the past few years. I'm a news producer at Tribune. Prior to this I was working at a PBS station in Chicago and have also been a radio host at Chicago Public Radio and Asian Broadcasting Network and have experience working with major media organisations in Pakistan. I serve as the Public Relations chair on the board of the Alliance for Women in Media-Chicago Chapter and have been involved in education and other free-lance projects related to my field. Taking on this added path as a social media writer for Justmeans and our mission to enrich readers not only with knowledge about social media trends, but with the added promise of disseminating a message of social responsibility, I am excited to be your resource in this domain. There is a plethora of topics and tools that shall be brought to your attention and I would love your feedback and concerns.
Networks:	Chicago, United States
Current Organisation:	Tribune
What kind of positive change do you want to create in the world over the next 12 months?:	I'd like to focus on revolutionary ideas in social media that take us toward creating positive attitudinal changes in society. The Beatles did say: "You say you want a revolution Well, you know We all want to change the world."
