  • Interaction Between Journos Imperative, Says Indian Press Council Chair Staff Correspondent
    Interaction between journos imperative, says Indian Press Council chair Staff Correspondent Members of a visiting team of the Press Council of India exchange views with senior journalists of media outlets of the East West Media Group Ltd at its conference room in the city on Wednesday.- sun photo Interaction and cooperation between journalists of India and Bangladesh are needed to overcome common professional barriers, threats and challenges, said Press Council of India Chairman Justice Chandramauli Kumar Prasad. Media coverage in a conflict zone has become a great challenge for journalists, he stated. “Journalism is going to be a risky profession in the subcontinent as they have to face different kinds of threats and challenges.” The media crew of both the friendly countries should unitedly challenge the menaces confronting them in professional duties, Justice Prasad said. The observations were made during a view-exchange meeting of a delegation of the Press Council of India with editors and senior journalists of East-West Media Group Ltd on Wednesday. The event was held in the EWMGL conference room at Bashundhara Residential Area. The visiting team of journalists, mostly editors from prominent Indian newspapers, also made a tour of the EWMGL media outlets. The visitors got fully apprised of the state of the mass media in Bangladesh. Speaking on the occasion, the Press Council chair underscored the need for more interaction and communications between the journalists of two countries. Journalists from both sides also echoed Justice Prasad’s views on the matter and voiced concern over the mounting threat of terrorism, militancy and conspiracies against their respective countries.

FACTORS THAT PUSH BANGLADESHI MEDIA TO EXERCISE SELF-CENSORSHIP by Abu Taib Ahmed A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Masters of Arts in Media Studies at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee August 2020 ABSTRACT FACTORS THAT PUSH BANGLADESHI MEDIA TO EXERCISE SELF-CENSORSHIP by Abu Taib Ahmed The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2020 Under the Supervision of Professor David S. Allen Self-censorship is one of the biggest threats to press freedom. Press freedom, as well as freedom of the expression, is an indicator of a society’s freedom and democracy. If the media cannot act freely, it can impact society’s ability to function as a democracy. Journalists often face pressures from various power structures to engage in self-censorship. While journalistic self- censorship has been examined in a number of different countries, no studies of journalistic self- censorship in Bangladesh have been undertaken or no studies have been undertaken to see what factors influence journalists to exercise self-censorship or to figure out reasons that make journalists in Bangladesh filter media content.
