“Volunteers are love in motion”.
ABN: Just tell us a little bit about yourself. Getu: Born, grew up and studied in the capital Addis Ababa, I graduated in Journalism & Communication from Addis Ababa University. I had served as freelance writer for various print media. Moreover, I worked at the Ethiopian Radio and Television Agency (currently called EBC) for twelve years. I had mainlyproduced different TV shows for Africa Journal, News coverageand 120 Entertainment Programs.
I received various awards for my memorable TV productions at ETV / EBC. In 2008 a French- based TV witnessed my reputation from the audience and named me “ባለ ንሥሩ ዓይን ጋዜጠኛ - A Journalist with an Eagle Eye”. My three TV shows were translated in French and aired via the station. With the producer‘s invitation, I had the opportunity to pay visits to Germany, Italy, France and Belgium where I was able to gain insight into Europe’s socio - cultural reality and media landscape.
