Bangla dailies' reports
One cannot get the actual stories behind the news by reading Bangladeshi dailies, especially the Bangla dailies. For example, most Bangla dailies carried the news of shifting Khaleda Zia's household belongings under big headlines. This is not a big news for the nation. The story behind this news is very simple. Begum Zia has lost her legal battle and she is vacating the cantonment house. Of course, she deserves some notice from the media, but not this big coverage.
For the last few days, the Bangla dailies have been publishing news under big headlines about the alleged financial irregularities of Nobel laureate Dr. Yunus without carrying out any investigation. Dr. Yunus is an asset of Bangladesh, he has brought honour to the country; and his reputation is the country's reputation. Even if he has done any wrong, we should not allow others to know that before we are confirmed about the fact. We cannot wholly believe the version of the news of Norway TV unless and until we know the fact from him and also from the government. But the Bangla dailies have published many stories about Dr. Yunus which is unethical. I believe the local newspapers are responsible very much for creating image crisis of the country globally.
I think the newspapers should play a significant role in creating a good image of the country.
