Two Star journos at UK media summit

Three Bangladeshi promising young professionals -- two journalists and a communication officer -- have secured places at Future News Worldwide (FNW), a global forum for the next generation media.

The international media summit is being  held at the Thompson Reuters Headquarters in London from July 15-17.

Aanila Tarannum and Azmin Azran, sub-editors of The Daily Star, and Nafisa Hasan, communication officer of Save the Children, Bangladesh, are three delegates chosen from Bangladesh for the conference.

Future News Worldwide is developed by the British Council in partnership with leading news and digital media organisations to identify, train and connect the next generation of top international journalists.

The three Bangladeshi youths were selected from a highly competitive field of more than 3,000 applicants, said the British Council yesterday.
