Internship as sub-editor at Dhaka Tribune

Abstract

Dhaka Tribune is a major trust-worthy and well-known Bangladeshi English-language daily newspaper based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, which began publication on 19 April, 2013. The newspaper also has an online portal- Bengali version- known as the Bangla Tribune. The newspaper is particularly highly regarded for their diverse and stellar op-ed content, and included works by prominent Bangladeshi and international columnists. The newspaper is owned by Gemcon Group and currently has Kazi Anis Ahmed as the publisher. Zafar Sobhan previously held the position of chief editor. The aim of this report is to provide a detailed and intensive look into my three-month internship at Dhaka Tribune as a sub-editor. The internship not only exposed me to the inner workings of a newspaper but also allowed me to gain a practical understanding of how digital media operates in our country. I learned something new every day, and I also had the opportunity to apply many of the theories and lessons I learnt in my media courses throughout my internship.
