Is the Press Council looking out for journalists' interests?

Will the amended Press Council Act further restrain free press?
Mahfuz Anam
Thu Aug 25, 2022 10:05 PM Last update on: Thu Aug 25, 2022 10:12 PM

Another law is being prepared to throttle press freedom and the freedom of expression. Again, vague terms like "harming public harmony" and "state security" are being inserted into a law to be interpreted subjectively, and used recklessly, only to harass and intimidate journalists and punish dissenting voices. Mahfuz Anam, editor and publisher of The Daily Star, speaks to us about this on this episode of Star Viewsroom.
