This is an online portal for young communicators to share news and develop their journalistic skills. It is partnered with NAM News Network (NNN) coordinated by Malaysia’s Bernama News Agency and United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). This platform is essentially useful for all those students who are aspiring to be part of the global media. It will provide them with a holistic education and a fantastic opportunity for those who aspire greater avenues to develop a career in international journalism.
