from 5 outlets' reporting

Three people were killed and four others injured in a head-on collision between an ambulance and a bus on the Dhaka-Khulna highway in Madhukhali upazila, Faridpur, on Friday afternoon, around 2:00pm to 3:00pm according to reports. The ambulance was heading from Faridpur to Magura, and the bus was a Kingfisher Paribahan service bound for Dhaka. Highway police officer-in-charge Abdus Salam said preliminary information indicated the victims were members of a volunteer organisation returning from a training session in Faridpur. Police seized the bus and said further legal procedures were underway. The identities of the deceased were not immediately known, and rescue and identification efforts were ongoing. Traffic was briefly disrupted but had returned to normal under police control.

Where accounts differ. The Daily Star reports the victims were members of a volunteer organisation returning from training, a detail not found in other outlets, and the Daily Star names the deceased while others say identities were unknown; reported times vary between 2:00pm, 2:30pm and 3:00pm.

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.
