Neutral summary

from 2 outlets' reporting

Dhaka ranked 12th on the world air-pollution list on Tuesday, 27 October, according to Switzerland-based IQAir, which recorded an air quality index of 149, described as unhealthy for sensitive groups. Lahore topped the list with a score of 238, followed by New Delhi with 214, Hanoi with 188, Baghdad with 169 and Karachi with 166. Sarabangla.net attributed Dhaka's worsening air to brick kilns, construction dust, road digging and old, unfit vehicles, and said children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with asthma or heart disease are most affected. It recommended wearing quality masks, avoiding prolonged outdoor exposure, and called for covering construction sites and sprinkling water on roads.

Where accounts differ. Sarabangla.net alone attributes Dhaka's pollution to brick kilns, construction dust and old vehicles and lists health risks and precautions, which Dhaka Post does not report.

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.
