In the history of Bangladeshi media the representation of children as a content of news has always been questioned due to the lack of awareness of the reporters regarding the ethical representation. Whereas in some other cases children news does not receive adequate coverage as it should be. Both the issues have always been a question about the professionalism of the news agencies, newspapers or news personnel. Many news stories and images present the violence perpetrated on children and by the children at length. Children are also presented as perpetrators of crimes. Such presentation may deter sympathy for children, as it not only presents them as victims, but also as perpetrators of the crimes reported. Though the scenario regarding the ethical standpoint has got a huge change now a day by the increasing awareness of the newsroom professionals, negligence of news regarding children news still hammering the news industry in Bangladesh. How much importance or prominent coverage should be given to news regarding any children issue, has yet to be solved. So as long as the ethical news presentation and the coverage news on children is an important issue to look at due to the current situation of Bangladeshi news media industry.

  • 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.

Popularity Analysis of the Top Nine Facebook Pages of Bangladeshi News Media Md. Sayeed Al-Zaman* Mridha Md. Shiblee Noman Department of Journalism and Media Studies, Jahangirnagar University, Department of Journalism and Media Studies, Jahangirnagar University, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Social media has become a popular source of information around the world. Previous studies explored different trends of social media news consumption. However, no studies have focused on Bangladesh to date, where social media penetration is very high in recent years. To fill this gap, this research aimed to understand its popularity trends during the period. For that reason, this work analyzes 97.67 million page likes and 3.48 billion interaction data collected from nine Bangladeshi news media’s Facebook pages between December 2016 to November 2020. The analysis shows that the growth rates of page likes and interaction rates declined during this period. It suggests that the media’s Facebook pages are gradually losing their popularity among Facebook users, which may have two more interpretations: Facebook’s aggregate appeal as a news source is decreasing to users, or Bangladeshi media’s appeal is eroding to Facebook users. These findings challenge the previous results, i.e., Facebook’s demand as a news source is increasing with time.

    Global Journal of HUMAN-SOCIAL SCIENCE: A Arts & Humanities - Psychology Volume 17 Issue 4 Version 1.0 Year 2017 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Corporate Culture in Journalism: Bangladesh Perspective By MD Saiful Alam Chowdhury & Najma Akhther University of Dhaka Abstract- Thanks to globalization, mass media, especially news media is controlled by the largest multinational companies of the world. The multinational form of the media has started influencing every sector of life of the people in the world because the media as a social institution is working as an intermediary in the practices of socio-economic and politico-cultural norms; it is building both the individual and universal identity; and is designing the road map for our daily life. However, like other corporate organization, the media is also running behind the profits. News like other profitable goods is becoming the way to profits of the multinational companies. Though the newspaper is considered the 'mirror of the society', 'fourth pillar of the country', 'the consciousness of the nation', etc., it is criticized by the scholars. The multinational companies have been using media as a way to profit instead of the way for social change. In this study the evolution and nature of the media under the corporate organization in Bangladesh has been discussed and analyzed critically. Keywords: multinational company and media, bangladeshi journalism, corporate culture, corporate journalism.
