Résumé

Work Experience

Anupam Deb Kanunjna has more than a decade of experience working as a journalist in different news media in Bangladesh. Currently he is working as a multimedia journalist for Germany's international broadcaster Deutsche Welle.

2018 - Present

Multimedia Journalist | DW | Germany

As a multimedia and mobile journalist, my work in Germany's international broadcaster- Deutsche Welle is pretty diverse. A multimedia journalist is like not only a jack of all trades, sometimes a master as well. I write articles on various issues and plan, shoot, edit, publish video reports. My area of interest is migration, politics, international affairs and environment.

2021 - Present

Multimedia Journalist | InfoMigrants | Europe

I also work as a multimedia journalist for InfoMigrants, an Europen Union co-financed project. It is a news and information site for migrants to counter misinformation at every point of their journey: in their country of origin, along the route, or in the places where they hope to start a new life. InfoMigrants is available in six languages: French, Arabic, English, Dari, Pashto and Bengali.

2010 - 2018

Senior Broadcast Journalist | 
Independent Television | Bangladesh

This long journey with a leading Bangladeshi news channel has really changed my thought process of presenting video stories. To tell a good story is a gigantic task, but to tell it in such a way that puts an long lasting impact on viewers' minds, is totally a different issue.

 

As a broadcast journalist, I not only ran after stories, but also gathered experiences as a talk show host, news bulletin anchor and also as a news editor.

2009 - 2010

Sub-editor | bdnews24.com | Bangladesh

Working as a sub-editor for the first online media house of Bangladesh, I learnt that 'not to trust anyone' and 'double checking everything' should be the priorities of a newsmen. It is bdnews24.com that really built my confidence to challenge conventional views.
