Hello, visitors! Sunny Greetings.

I am Ali Samah from the Maldives. I am a student at the University of New York in Prague. My major is media and communication studies. In Sri Lanka, I earned a higher national diploma in business t and human resource management. 

I've wanted to work in the media since I was a child, and four years ago, I got my dream job. Prior to entering the media field, I worked in the tourism industry.

I joined Raajje TV, one of the Maldives' finest television networks, and worked there as a multimedia journalist for three years. I host my own shows and produce various content for TV. My major responsibilities were covering political events.

Additionally, I have covered a variety of socioeconomic issues. I was lucky to be one of the few journalists who went with police in the Maldives on a drug raid.

I was chosen to travel to China for a media trip. During the trip, I learned about the country's media ideals. Following Raajje TV, I worked at Vaguthu, the Maldives' number one online news site. I worked there for a year and had the opportunity to improve my writing and presentation skills. In Vaguthu, I focused primarily on feature reports, which I enjoy writing.

I'm currently working as a freelancer.  My life motto is "Joy is in the climb itself." I think that in order to be successful, we have to climb a lot of ladders, which I do all the time. I am a solo traveler who has visited various countries and obtained invaluable insight into the people and their cultures.


I hope through this blog you can get a lot of information about violence in the media. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Yours truly.

Ali Samah
