Sub-editing experience at UNB

Abstract

United News of Bangladesh (UNB) is Bangladesh’s first fully computerized private news agency. The organization was founded in 1988 by Mr. Enayetullah Khan. It was established to provide timely, accurate news to media outlets across the country as well as internationally. It does not a have printed edition, however, it has a strong online presence, serving over 20 million readers both locally and internationally. The main focus of UNB is distribution services and it has established partnerships with global news agencies. The aim of this report is to provide an extensive overview of my three-month long internship at UNB as a sub-editor. The internship allowed me to gain a practical understanding of how digital media operates in our country. Moreover, through this internship, I was able to put my learning into practical use. Every day I learned something new, whether it was directly related to my work or related to personal growth.
