• Community member Abid Azad has written a blog post entitled 'A Political Prey', which addresses the issue of student politics in Bangladesh and its declining reputation. He talks about the brutal murder of Zubair Ahmed, a fourth year student at Jahangirnagar University and the issues and repercussions that followed. If you are interested, it is worth the read.
• Sanday Chongo has written a new post about the Wikipedia edit that 'killed' Zambian president, Michael Sata. The false post caused the Zambian government to strongly criticise online media. What do you think? Should the ability to edit within Wikipedia have more limits? Share your thoughts in the comment section below Sanday's post. 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Community Manager, Hanna McLean, at any time. (Twitter: @HannaMcLean21)

This Online Journalism Community was initiated by the European Journalism Centre, an international non-profit media organisation.
