To new beginnings🎓😄💗

Welcome back to The Chennai Emailer — a local journalism project that brings out original human-interest features & news compilation from Chennai. It’s run by me —Mohammed Rayaan😊

Dear reader, I have some good news.

I am happy to say (and also a little sad) that I have completed the online Entrepreneurial Journalism Creators Program at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism (City University of New York) last week.

It’s probably the best thing to happen in my career so far as it helped me become a better journalist.

I was one among 32 people from 15 nations to be selected for this program. I wrote a short piece on Medium about my experience and I will be super glad if you read it. Here’s the link.

As you may have noticed, I haven’t written here in the last two weeks. I decided to take a much-needed break so I can recharge and return with more exciting stories about our city.

I am hoping to apply whatever I learned in the program and offer the best human-interest features. With each edition, I aim to get better. You can reach me at [email protected] anytime and tell me how I can improve this newsletter.

Until then - stay safe, wear a mask, and spread love! 😄💘
