Internship experience as a reporter at The Daily Star

Abstract

This report presents my internship experience at The Daily Star, one of Bangladesh’s leading newspapers, known for its credibility, authenticity and vast range of coverage of both national and international news. The Daily Star was established in January 14, 1991. It was co-founded by journalist Syed Mohammad Ali and Mahfuz Anam. The newspaper is widely regarded for covering diverse range of news and particularly known for it’s editorial segment, which incorporates insightful analysis, thoughts and opinions on various national and international issues. Besides, The Daily Star is also admired for providing timely updates through its website and social media platforms, making it a source of news for readers both in Bangladesh and abroad. The aim of this report is to provide an in-depth look of my three-month internship as a reporting intern at The Daily Star. The newspaper did not only give me the opportunity to comprehend how internal works are done in a media organisation but also gave me the chance to know how media operates in our country. Alongside learning new things everyday, I also had the chance to apply many of the theories that I learned from media courses in a practical way.
