Actually, he's talking about 'provisional', i.e., tentative, and has tried to make 'provisioning' a verb for it. Probabably 'provisionalizing' would be a better fit, even though it's not standard English.

Here's a snippet of where he's coming from:

"If what matters most in life is progress and growth and improvement of ourselves and our societies, we need journalism to be speculative as well as factual, provisional as well as final."

Basically, he's suggesting that as a journalist he wants to get involved in the process of events by floating ideas, rather than passively reporting, then goes on to float some.
