Dear readers,

We have an announcement to make. The upcoming issue of SHOUT, on July 13, will mark the 10th anniversary of our beloved youth magazine. It will also be the last ever issue of SHOUT.

For ten years, SHOUT has attempted to capture, within its pages, the wide variety of moods and tastes among the youth of Bangladesh. It has been a difficult job, one that required us to be fast on our feet. It was a riveting journey, and it now seems that we are at the end of this road.

This road does not lead to a dead end, however. The platform that SHOUT provided to the young and the opinionated in our society has been a unique feature of The Daily Star, and as a continuation of that, two youth publications will be added to The Daily Star's catalogue. 

From July 20 onwards, The Daily Star on Thursdays will include "Campus", a weekly publication for the driven and ambitious young people of Bangladesh. On the last Thursday of every month, The Daily Star will bring "Rising Stars", a separate monthly publication focused on the youngest readers among us, capturing their interests, passions, and dreams.

Next week, however, we celebrate what SHOUT has been able to achieve for these last ten years. Be sure to collect your copy of The Daily Star on Thursday, July 13, and join us in bidding farewell to the definitive youth magazine.

Sincerely,
The SHOUT team
