26 years into our journey
As The Daily Star completes 26 years in its journey, we extend sincere thanks and gratitude to our readers, well-wishers, patrons and advertisers without whom we would not be where we are today. More than two decades ago, The Daily Star began its journey, coinciding with the resurgence of democracy in the country. Since its inception, The Daily Star has made its best efforts to adhere to the highest ethical standards of journalism. We would like to think that we have been successful in our efforts.
The fruitful journey of 26 years has been a long, winding path filled with both ups and downs. In our effort to uphold the highest benchmark of journalism, we had to weather the storm from time to time. As we made friends because of our type of journalism so did we encounter detractors. But at every step of the way, we have welcomed constructive criticism to refine our brand of journalism and speak truth to power. Over the years, we have reiterated the importance of a free press for the healthy functioning of democracy – to ensure accountability of institutions and decision-making entities and protect citizens' right to information.
The Daily Star has displayed unwavering commitment to its motto – Your Right to Know – remaining truthful to its pledge to serve the readers, and the nation, with objective journalism. The journey of 26 years has indeed been a tumultuous and fulfilling one, and we hope that with the unstinting support of our readers, we will be able to continue our pursuit of independent, fearless journalism.
