Shishu Prokash, a news agency with child journalists, launched its website www.shishuprokash.com last week during the1st Child Journalist Convention in Bangladesh.
The convention was organised by Mass-Line Media Center (MMC) and UNICEF. MMC has trained more than 1,000 child journalists, under its Children’s Express Project. These child journalists have published about 1,024 reports since the inception of Shishu Prokash. The subjects of the reports include many child rights issues; one even about a village in Bangladesh where there is not a single school. Many of these reports have been published in local, regional and national papers, reports asiamedia.ucla.edu.
