Net Committees

Journalists could be the major actors in mounting response in economic and trade development and promotion at the local level. But it has never been attempted to involve the journalists in the development of the economic, trade and commerce related activities and it was not tried to utilize their resource in this regard. Under this project CCD has already formed Economic Journalists Network (EJ Net) in each northern districts of Bangladesh. This is the first initiative in Bangladesh to form such kind Network to play the role of advocacy for the sustainable development of the local trade, commerce and economic activities and to work as pressure group for economic and business promotion.

The key goal of forming this network is to provide journalists an organized platform to gather and share views, ideas and experience as well as to ensure good reporting practices on economic, trade and commerce issues upholding ethical and moral aspects.

Opportunity for the journalists has created trough this network for sharing ideas, vision and experience among journalists, to enhance both quantity and quality of economic and trade related media coverage. Networking of journalists have provides them the threshold of mutual sharing and combined action. It helps institutionalize values and commitment and to contribute to keep the journalists continuously proactive. Also through this network CCD is able to maintain active links with journalists and it help rapid action teams in getting support of the local initiatives and necessary coverage on the issues.

Under this imitative CCD has already formed EJ Net comprising intending journalists of each district. This network has been formed on the basis of mutual discussion during the journalists’ networking in each district. A committee has been formed for each district to properly conduct the activities of this network.
