from 5 outlets' reporting

Two men were beaten to death by a crowd in Gangachara upazila, Rangpur, early Sunday, after being accused of stealing a battery-powered auto-rickshaw. Police and locals said the vehicle was taken from the house of Siddiqur Rahman Sohel, who raised the alarm; a mosque loudspeaker announcement prompted worshippers at Fajr prayers to join the chase. The two men allegedly abandoned the vehicle and tried to flee through a paddy field near a canal in the Uttar Panapukur area of Barabil union, about half a kilometre from the house, where they were caught and beaten. Police said they recovered the bodies and sent them for autopsy to Rangpur Medical College Hospital. OC Abdus Sabur said legal action is under way. Reports named the dead as Ejarul Haque alias Rezaul Kana and Sadikul Islam, though ages and addresses varied across outlets, and some reports said their identities were not yet confirmed.

Where accounts differ. The Daily Star and Jugantor say the two men were not identified, while Prothom Alo, The Daily Waadaa and UNB name them, and the ages (42 or 46 for the older man, 25 or 32 for the younger) and village details differ between outlets.

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.
