Dhaka, June 2
Prominent NTV news presenter Naznin Akter Banu has launched her journalism-focused book titled Beyond Borders ‘‘The Art of Reporting East and West.” The unveiling ceremony took place on Monday afternoon at the Zahur Hossain Chowdhury Hall of the National Press Club in Dhaka.
The event was moderated by Tania Hamid and attended by notable guests.
Dhaka Union of Journalists (DUJ) President Md. Shahidul Islam was the chief guest. In his remarks, he praised Naznin’s multifaceted contributions to journalism, teaching, music, and parenting.
“She is a true example of how one can nurture and express hidden talents while balancing responsibilities,” he said.
Speakers at the event emphasized the declining human values and the increasing chase after material gains. They stressed that books play a vital role in helping people rediscover the truth. Praising Naznin’s initiative, they noted that although journalists face many challenges in seeking truth, very few document their experiences in writing and her book stands out as a valuable exception.
Special guests included DUJ General Secretary Md. Khorshed Alam, Air Commodore (Retd.) Munim Khan Mujlis, PIB Journalism Alumni Association Secretary Dr. Rathindranath Sarkar, and poet Shahidullah Farayezi. Ali Ashraf Akand delivered the welcome speech.
