Neutral summary

from 4 outlets' reporting

Bangladesh's Meteorological Department said on Monday, 26 October, that the deep depression over the Bay of Bengal had intensified into a cyclone named Arnab, a name proposed by Bangladesh. At 6 a.m. it was about 820 km south-west of Chattogram port, 745 km south-west of Cox's Bazar, 785 km south of Mongla and 745 km south of Payra. Winds within 54 km of the centre reached a sustained 62 km/h, gusting to 88 km/h, and seas near the centre were very rough. The department forecast it could become a severe cyclone by midnight and an extremely severe cyclone, crossing India's Andhra Pradesh coast on 28 October. Signal 1 at Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Mongla and Payra was raised to signal 2, and fishing boats and trawlers in the north Bay of Bengal were told to stay near the coast until further notice.

Where accounts differ. Ekushey Television reported a lower wind speed of 50 km/h gusting to 60 km/h for the earlier depression stage, and different positional distances, while the other outlets report the cyclone stage figures of 62 km/h gusting to 88 km/h.

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.
