Fellows' diaries 2007: Read about how the One World Media Fellows got on during their visit to the UK

 

The One World Media Fellows were in the UK from the 20th October to the 3rd November, and during this time they met with various senior broadcasters to exchange ideas and share their experience.

 

Throughout their stay they wrote diary entries, describing their activities each day. They will write about the people they meet, the things they learn, and the knowledge they have shared.
