Presenter, TRT World

Kamali Melbourne is a journalist who has worked in World News for over a decade. He began his international news career at Channel 4 in the UK and has worked for the BBC, Sky and Bloomberg. He has been an anchor for TRT World since 2015 and currently presents a daily programme called NewsFeed. He says the show examines the impact social media has on humanity and also tries to take sideways look at some of the stories dominating news bulletins.

‘The 150th year of the Turkish Red Crescent finds the humanitarian community at a point where they are perhaps under more pressure than ever in their history, but they are needed more than ever before. This conference is a chance for open dialogue about how humanitarian organisations can use the private sector to ensure they are sufficiently funded for the future’.
