Bangladesh's Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) reported that three more people died with measles-like symptoms in the past 24 hours, according to bdnews24.com, raising the suspected-measles death toll for the year to 1,085. Another 104 people died from confirmed measles, bringing the combined toll to 1,189. Dhaka Division recorded the most suspected-measles deaths at 488, followed by Sylhet at 190. Bdnews24 said 950 people sought hospital care in the past 24 hours and 837 were admitted, with 85 confirmed cases. Bdnews24 noted that not all patients are tested, so the exact number of infections is unknown.

Where accounts differ. Reported totals diverge: bdnews24 gives 1,085 suspected deaths (1,189 combined) while The Financial Express gives 1,097 (1,201 combined), Banglavision gives 1,110 (1,214 combined), and The Business Standard gives 1,092 suspected (1,196 combined) for later bulletins, with the daily death increments also varying (three, five, six, seven).

About this method

Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.

What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.

Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
