FBC Manager News, Ritika Pratap, receives her certificate during The University of Fiji’s graduation ceremony early this morning.

Juggling taking care of her family, running a newsroom and keeping up with assignments were some of the biggest challenges Ritika Pratap faced over the past few years.

And today, when she walked up the stage to receive her Masters in International Relations and Diplomacy at the University of Fiji graduation ceremony, she says it was worth all the effort.

The Fijian Broadcasting Corporation’s Manager of News is the most experienced member of the newsroom and has ably led the team through some of its most challenging times.
