“bdnews24.com has shown the way to many by encouraging child journalism,” he remarked at a virtual ceremony to award the best reporters of the year from Hello, the news publisher’s website dedicated for child journalists. “And this programme with child journalists is also exceptional. Such efforts to honour the child journalists and build them as journalists per excellence…such an event to award them are truly praiseworthy,” he said. The information minister said child journalism is a great platform to wean children off social media addiction, which he said was hampering their growth. Over the past eight to nine years, bdnews24.com has trained thousands of child journalists, who are doing “the impossible” now.
