DW Akademie kicks off fellowship programme
With 28 journalism students from nine public universities, DW Akademie kicked off its two-year-long "Local Media Hub Fellowship" with a virtual session on Friday.
At the daylong workshop, journalist Khaled Muhiuddin said, "Everyone wants to be a journalist today... But not everyone can. At the end of the day, journalists' role is that of a watchdog, and it is a difficult task."
Priya Esselborn, programme director (Bangladesh) at DW Akademie; its senior consultant Lutfa Ahmed; Radio Bhumi station chief Shams Suman; and DW Bangla Service journalist Arafatul Islam also spoke at the workshop, said a press release.
DW Akademie --the media development wing of Germany's public broadcaster Deutsche Welle -- has been working in Bangladesh since 2014 with an aim to improve journalism education and practice to strengthen the country's free media.
