MUMBAI: German broadcaster Deutsche Welle has partnered with Bangladesh’s bdnews24.com, as the
two news providers will work together in the future on several shared multimedia projects.
Readers can now access three links to Deutsche Welle content from bdnews24.com’s Bengali and English homepages, including DW-TV’s live
stream, and English and Bengali news on DW-WORLD.DE.
In addition, DW-AKADEMIE will provide technical assistance and support in creating a new concept for the company’s website, according to a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the two organisations. In 2009, DW-AKADEMIE will also organize training courses in “online
journalism” for bdnews24.com’s staff, a release says.
