👋🏽Hey there! My name is Mohammed Rayaan and I am a journalist based in Chennai, India. I currently work as a Sub-Editor for The Hindu BusinessLine. ✍🏽I have worked as features writer for DT Next, an English daily newspaper owned by the Dina Thanthi Group of Publications. Previously, I was with News Today, an English evening daily. I have written for Talk Media, a weekly newspaper. My byline has appeared on 30 Stades, Live Wire and The Opinioc.
💪🏽In the last four years, I have developed effective reporting skills and have written on a variety of beats including human-interest features. I have also worked with startups and entrepreneurs to create content for their businesses. I am passionate about journalism, creating sustainable newsrooms, community building and the creator economy.
🏆In March 2022, I won a full scholarship from the Facebook Journalism Project to pursue the 100-days online Entrepreneurial Journalism Creators Program at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism (City University of New York). As part of the course, I started The Chennai Emailer — a local journalism project that brings out original human-interest features & news compilation from Chennai.
