Journalistic Autobiography of Sanjoy Chaki
It’s me Sanjoy Chaki now the senior staff correspondent of Channel-i, the first 24 hours digital satellite television in Bangladesh.
But the journey was not so much smooth from the beginning of my career. Sometimes I feel like I’m walking in my dream when I think my earlier days of journalism. I started my journalism career before completing my higher secondary education even.. This is indeed a pretty long journey if you think the career of Bangladeshi journalists. I was the local correspondent ( Kumarkhali correspondent ) of a local daily in my district namely Kushtia. The names that daily "The Daily Kushtia”. It is a Bengali daily. Within a year I was promoted to be the staffs of that daily in the district headquarter. Then with my hard work I became the top most boss in that daily. Yes it’s true I became the acting editor. But before that I have worked as sub-editor and news editor.
Simultaneously, I tried to put my footing in the national media industry. From 1998, I started working as the district correspondent of then most popular Bangla daily "The Daily Bhorer Kagoj”. Then I have worked for two other reputed and oldest Bengali daily. One is "The Daily Ittefaq” and the other is " The Daily Jugantor”.
At that time a new kind of journalism evolved in Bangladesh that is television journalism. It’s a craze indeed to be a visual media journalist then. and that craze was initiated by a world renowned journalist Mr Saimon Dring and Ekushey Television(ETV). With the great success of ETV a revolution took place in the visual media industry. More private television channel started their journey. ATN Bangla, Channel-i and NTV were the leading satellite television station at that time.
I have got a golden chance to be the district correspondent of NTV. So a new era of my journalism career started. But another dimenson came in my life. I have to leave my home town Kushtia for some political and anti-social reason. Some interest groups became angry with one of my report about drug business and about anti-establishment. One of our local magazine patronized by defense made a report on us why we a group of journalists were forced to leave home.
From the year 2004 I am working in the capital as a staff correspondent of "The Daily Bhorer Kagoj”. I want to mention here that this news paper was the pioneer institution that inspired me to be the mainstream journalism. Just after a one year I had another golden chance to be the Channel-i correspondent, the dream institution for any Bangladeshi broadcast journalists. I’m still working with this station as a senior staff correspondent.
As the part of my job I’ve visited Qatar, Sri Lanka,China, Malaysia, Thailand, D R Congo, Uganda and India.
Basically I have to cover the power and energy related assignment. But being a television journalist I have to cover some other assignment like politics, Government and Administration.
Besides my day to day work I’m trying hard to do online journalism. I’m developing a online television and website naming " NoTVbangla”.
