Article analysis

5out of 10

Band BLocalised faults

Prothom Alo11:27Neutral

Reports the protesters' return to class with a neutral headline, but narrates the VC's lock-breaking entry as fact and never seeks the new VC's or authorities' response.

Eleven of the eleven outlets that covered this event headlined it neutrally.

The faults are local; the reporter's narration stays descriptive.

How the 5 was worked out

The model answers seven fixed questions from 0 to 3 and cites evidence for each. The score is calculated from the answers in code, so any disagreement points to one question.

Evidence

1Word choiceReporter voice

অবশেষে

'Finally' in narration frames the decision with mild evaluative relief.

2Unsubstantiated claimReporter voice

ছাত্রদল নেতাদের সঙ্গে নিয়ে উপাচার্য ভবনের তালা ভেঙে নিজ দপ্তরে প্রবেশ করেন তিনি

A disputable claim that the VC broke the lock with Chhatra Dal leaders is stated as fact without a source.

3CoverageReporter voice

নতুন নিয়োগ পাওয়া উপাচার্য অধ্যাপক শেখ শরীফুল আলম

The new VC and the appointing authority are not quoted, though the movement opposes him and he is said to have broken a lock.

4Word choiceAttributed quote voice· not scored

যৌক্তিক দাবি

The protesters' letter calls its own demand logical; this is attributed and proportionate.

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.
