Approval Name: Anis Rahman Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: Television Journalism, Market-orientation, and Media Democratization in Bangladesh Examining Committee: Chair: Gary McCarron Associate Professor Yuezhi Zhao Senior Supervisor Professor Robert Hackett Supervisor Professor Robert Anderson Supervisor Professor Stuart Poyntz Internal Examiner Associate Professor Stephen McDowell External Examiner Professor College of Communication and Information Florida State University Date Defended/Approved: December 15, 2017 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract This dissertation critically examines the emergence of a neoliberal market-oriented media system in Bangladesh and its impact on news production in both television channels and broadcast policymaking. The dissertation dissects the ownership structure and politics of licensing private television channels by successive governments between 1995 and 2017. It surveys the trends in the commercialization of television news to assess the symbolic and economic influence of advertising on journalism. It argues that the politically concentrated ownership of television and the practices of market-oriented television journalism in Bangladesh are symbiotically embedded with the political and social transformation of the nation-state, a postcolonial quest for nation-building, as well as an asymmetrical integration with the processes of neoliberal globalization. The analysis draws insights from critical and transcultural approaches to political economy of communication.
