First picture editing workshop in Bangladesh
Convinced that ensuring professional standards in mainstream media was a prerequisite for building a democratic and pluralistic environment, Drik undertook professional training for regional journalists. Working with Panos South Asia, Drik set up a temporary picture desk at the leading English Daily, the Daily Star. Participants from Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh worked with Sri Lankan photographer Dominic Sansoni and Dutch picture editor Nicole Robbers to change the visual approach of Bangladeshi newspapers. The need for quality photographic training also led to the formation of Pathshala, the South Asian Media Institute, now considered one of the finest schools of photography in the world.
