Neutral summary

from 5 outlets' reporting

BNP has nominated Aliza Zaman, a member of its central executive committee and joint convener of Pirojpur district unit, as its candidate for the November 12 by-election to reserved women's seat-23 in the 13th Jatiya Sangsad. The seat fell vacant after Ferdousy Ahmed Mishti resigned on October 1 following instructions from Prime Minister and BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman. Her resignation came amid allegations that people close to her were involved in an attack, vandalism and looting at the Radda MCH-FP Centre in Mirpur, Dhaka; Mishti denied any involvement. A total of 68 women submitted nomination forms for the ticket, and the party interviewed aspirants on October 19. Aliza submitted her nomination papers on Monday, October 26, the last filing day. Election Commission scrutiny is scheduled for October 27 and withdrawal for November 1. If she remains the sole candidate, she will be declared elected unopposed.

Where accounts differ. Jugantor and The Daily Waadaa report a 'ruling party' or 'BNP' link to the health centre attack only as allegations, while The Daily Star and Amar Desh omit the attack's details or Mishti's denial, so the accounts of the incident differ in detail.

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.
