Syed Ashfaqul Haque, executive editor of the English daily The Daily Star, said the authoritarian state system created adversity for the media. Not only Bangladesh is in this situation, Trump is gone. But there are Putin in Russia, Duterte in the Philippines, Bolsonaro in Brazil and Xi Jinping in China. A lot is being invested behind propaganda and fake news. However, according to him, in the end, what the media reports is the key.
But the media must protect themselves from the organization that publishes news by collecting news from different media. We have to find a way to provide protection.
Shahidul Islam, a professor at Chittagong University, said that democracy and freedom of expression are related to media development. We need to find out why alternative media is spreading, what people really want.
Syed Ishtiaq Reza, editor-in-chief of Gazi TV, said that people’s trust in the media was declining. Farooq Faisal, regional director of Article Nineteen, said journalists’ unions were divided and would lose confidence if they continued to maintain ties with political parties.
MRDI Executive Director Hasibur Rahman said: “Journalism survives to the end.” But you have no choice but to increase the capacity. Again, if the media economy is not good, there are doubts about the effectiveness of ongoing capacity development efforts.
