DD News to have 22 new faces

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI JUNE 11. Come July, Doordarshan News will have a new face. Literally, with 22 new faces — all screened by a private HRD agency — set to don the mikes from July to present news, anchor programmes and interview celebrities.

Drawn from various private channels, the new recruits — mostly girls — were screened and selected by a private HRD agency and are being trained in the art of reporting, news writing, editing, voice-over, interviewing and production aspects at the Doordarshan News Centre by senior members of the BBC staff.

Of the 22 new recruits, eight will be news anchors and 14 reporters/correspondents. Recruited on a year's renewable contract, they will be based in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad.

The recruitment, which began in February, has finally drawn to a close.
