from 5 outlets' reporting

Two separate cases were reported. In Dhaka, a tribunal sentenced Md Mizanur Rahman to death and fined him Tk 100,000 for strangling his wife Rehana over a dowry demand in South Keraniganj; prosecutor Ershad Alam confirmed the verdict. The court had heard 10 witnesses, and the accused gave a confessional statement, according to the case records. In Satkhira, a tribunal sentenced Abdur Rouf Sardar to death and fined him Tk 50,000 for killing his wife Sabina Islam and infant daughter Ayesha Siddika over dowry demands and family disputes, according to prosecutor Sheikh Alamgir Ashraf. The case was filed by Sabina's mother Jahanara Khatun, and 12 witnesses testified, per The Daily Star. Jugantor reported the Satkhira case with the same details and said the accused has been absconding since bail.

Where accounts differ. Reports differ on the Dhaka case's date and witness count: bdnews24.com says the killing was in 2019 and 10 witnesses testified, while Amar Desh gives a 22 September 2019 date and Prothom Alo says the killing was on 25 July 2019; Amar Desh also says the convict was fined Tk 100,000 and sent to the Dhaka tribunal-8 judge.

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.
