Introduction: Internship is a system of on the job training for white-collar and professional careers. Internship for professional careers is similar to apprenticeship for trade and other jobs. The internship works as an exchange of services for experience between the student and his or her employer. Some interns also find permanent, paid employment with the companies in which they interned. Thus employers also benefit as experienced interns need little or no training when they begin full time regular employment. This report contains my entire working experiences and few details about Channel 24. The duration of my internship was 12 weeks from 16 January to 16 April, 2018. I started to work in the broadcast journalist Team of a Private Television channel which is ‘Channel 24’. In my internship period my position was broadcast journalist. I was appointed to work with Assignment desk. It is a very active desk, so I really enjoyed the work as a broadcast journalist. I gathered a lot of practical expertise during my work at the desk. Assignment sheet make, communication with every member and writing report can be very challenging and I developed a liking for the job, so much so, that now I want to join the electronic media after my graduation. This experience opened up new possibilities for me and gave me an eye-opening understanding of the electronic media. This may not have been possible for me and would like to thank my department journalism and mass communication Daffodil International University for giving me this opportunity. At Channel 24, I learn new things every day. It was like a new world to me. The technological equipment is much updated. Courageously I can say that, whatever I have been learned from my university; I have been hardly tried to (experimentally) applied in my entire internship period.. CHANNEL24 is a Bengali News channel. CHANNEL24 started officially broadcasting in Bangladesh on May 22. It’s an international broadcasting TV channel.
