The project objectives were to encourage young women to choose journalism as their career and promote gender equality in the field of journalism in Bangladesh. The 12-month project awarded 20 young women graduates for a nine-month fellowship on practical journalism. Major activities of the project included (i) three-month in-house training; (ii) three-month internship and (iii) three-month for writing assignments. A group of senior journalists, trainers and experts conducted the in-house training courses. The training included; techniques of information gathering; event coverage; report writing skills; techniques of investigative reporting/in-depth/news-feature writing; copy editing and news analysis. After completion of in-hour training fellows were attached to mainstream print and electronic media for a three-month internship. During the assignment period fellows produced about 60 in-depth reports on various issues and those were published in media with due credit.
