Neutral summary
The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) cut domestic gold prices, with the new rates effective from 10am on Sunday 25 October. Prothom Alo reported the price of 22-carat gold per bhori fell by 2,158 taka on Friday and by a further 1,691 taka on Thursday, a combined reduction of up to 3,849 taka over two days. Bajus attributed the change to a fall in the price of pure gold in the local market, and Prothom Alo said the global market downturn was the main cause. Jugantor and Dhaka Post reported a 3,324 taka reduction in 22-carat gold, to 2,20,858 taka including VAT. Ajker Patrika reported a fall of 3,674 taka to 2,20,508 taka. Silver prices were unchanged or slightly lower, according to the reports. Bajus said the new prices would apply across all jewellery outlets until a further decision.

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. This analysis was made by claude-opus-5-5 on rubric 1.0.0. 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.
