MIU Journalism Students Visit BTV

Students of the Department of Journalism and Media Studies at Manarat International University visited Bangladesh Television (BTV) to gain practical experience in broadcasting at Rampura in the city recently.

The visit, organised with faculty members, aimed to enhance students’ hands-on learning in media operations at the country’s largest and only terrestrial television channel.

Officials of BTV warmly received the students and teachers in the morning. A documentary highlighting the organisation’s activities from 1964 to the present was screened for the visitors. Following the screening, the officials interacted with the students and responded to their queries.

Later, the students were divided into two groups and taken on a comprehensive tour of the station. They visited various sections, including studios, the newsroom, Programme Control Room (PCR), Master Control Room (MCR), and audio recording facilities. Senior officials explained the functions and workflow of each department, providing valuable insights into broadcast operations. The students also took part in practical sessions to gain firsthand experience.

The department regularly organises such programmes to strengthen students’ practical skills and maintain a strong connection with the media industry. A total of 30 students participated in the visit.

At the end of the programme, the Head of the Department, Rafiquzzaman Ruman, expressed sincere gratitude to the BTV authorities for their warm hospitality and cooperation.
