from 5 outlets' reporting

A high-level delegation of the Japan-Bangladesh Parliamentary Friendship League, led by league chairman and former Japanese prime minister Taro Aso, paid a courtesy call on Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Monday (26 October) at 3 pm Japan local time. Rahman thanked Aso for his continued contribution to strengthening bilateral ties and recalled meeting him in 2006 as then BNP senior joint secretary general; Aso recalled meeting the late Khaleda Zia. Both sides stressed deepening political, economic and people-to-people contacts. Aso said Bangladesh's young population and political stability make it attractive to Japanese companies, which are keen to invest. Rahman said his government has taken steps to create a business-friendly environment, including legal changes, and sought Aso's help in boosting Japanese investment, trade and technology transfer under the Economic Partnership Agreement, as well as continued Japanese support for development and skills. Finance and Planning Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury and other officials attended; Japanese participants included Yasutoshi Nishimura, LDP chairman.

Where accounts differ. Outlets differ on the venue, with Ajker Patrika alone saying the meeting took place at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, and Bangla Edition alone describing Rahman's request for Aso's cooperation in the same terms as the others.

Every headline, in order

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.
