Media intern Brie-Ellen Harding reflects on the nine weeks she spent at Sri Lanka’s national broadcaster, Sri Lanka Rūpavāhinī Corporation, reporting stories and working alongside journalists across its Sinhala, Tamil and English newsrooms. While the internship gave her invaluable international journalism experience, it was the warmth and hospitality of her colleagues and the wider Sri Lankan community that made her time in Colombo truly memorable, leaving her with a new perspective on journalism, culture and what it means to feel at home far from home.
