Neutral summary

from 4 outlets' reporting

The Anti-Corruption Commission (Durnee Daman Commission, DUDOK) has approved filing a case against Swadesh Chandra Samanta, former vice chancellor of Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU), and Santosh Kumar Bosu, former registrar (additional charge), over alleged irregular recruitment causing financial loss. DUDOK's deputy director Md. Aktarul Islam said the case concerns posts not approved by the University Grants Commission, and recruitment beyond the advertised posts. DUDOK alleges the two colluded to abuse power, illegally influenced selection board members, and had the Regent Board resolution prepared and approved to appoint others including the vice chancellor's son. Payments of 8,075,131 taka in salaries and allowances were made, which DUDOK says caused a loss to the government. The case is to be filed under Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1947 and Sections 409 and 109 of the Penal Code.

Where accounts differ. Reports differ on the case's status: Jugantor and Ajker Patrika say approval was given and the case will be filed, while Banglanews24.com and Sarabangla.net say the case was filed on 25 October, and Sarabangla.net says it was lodged at the PSTU district office. Reports also differ on the date, given as 15 or 25 October.

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.
