  • Factors Affecting Mass Media Fp Programs on Current Use of Contraception in Bangladesh
    Bangladesh J. Agric. Econs. XXI, 1 & 2 (1998): 111-126 Research Note FACTORS AFFECTING MASS MEDIA FP PROGRAMS ON CURRENT USE OF CONTRACEPTION IN BANGLADESH Mr. M. Amirul Islam Dr. M. Kabir ABSTRACT In this paper the significant role of mass media and factors affecting it have been investigated. Mass media has played an important role in the success of Bangladesh family planning programs. Different mass media are employed to disseminate FP-MCH messages. Evaluation of the impact of mass media exposures on FP-MCH programs would provide new directions and strategy for its effectiveness. In this study a total of 3100 currently married women from all over Bangladesh were interviewed. The aim was to identify the impact of the mass media on family planning programs. The findings indicate that radio is still the most reached medium than television and newspaper. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors, which have significant effects on exposure to family planning messages. The significant factors that have influence on exposure to family planning mass media messages are education, type of place of residence, employment status and membership of women in development groups. The analysis further revealed that age, number of living children, religion, radio ownership, approval of family planning by the respondents and their husbands, are the important determinants affecting use of modern contraception as opposed to no method users. The study findings have policy implications in the sense that mass media and its contents will play an important role in the future MCH-FP programs and in achieving demographic goals.

  • UNIVERSITY of TAMPERE Child Marriage News Coverage In
    UNIVERSITY OF TAMPERE Child Marriage News Coverage in Bangladeshi Newspapers to Enhance News Literacy Faculty of Communication Sciences Master’s thesis in media education Quazi Md Shahariar Karim May 2018 University of Tampere Quazi Md Shahariar Karim: Child marriage news coverage in Bangladeshi newspapers to enhance news literacy Master’s thesis in media education: 51 pages, 3 Appendix. May 2018 ________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Bangladesh has witnessed a dramatic change in media-sphere with a mushrooming growth of media house in a recent decade. The current trend of media monopolization causes media audiences facing more challenges to filter and evaluate the content as well as make informed decisions. However, lack of relevant study in Bangladeshi media context indicates that there is a need for developing news literacy skills that focus language used in media. From this point of view, the study on news literacy has intended to analyses the nature of presenting social issues on a similar media setting to promote and develop critical thinking by identifying multiple aspects of a problem and generate recommendations to upgrade the situation. This case study based content analysis analytically investigates how english and bengali language newspaper in Bangladesh presented the issue of Child Marriage. Finding suggests that both english and bangla language media give less coverage to child marriage issue. Differences are also found between the newspapers to cover the child marriage news, i.e. the statement, tone, frequency, direction, length and source of the report. Some recommendations have been suggested based on the findings to improve the situation. It is hoped that researchers will use this study as a reference to conduct further research as well as enrich the field of news literacy for better understanding.
