Neutral summary

from 5 outlets' reporting

The government has nominated new managing directors for three state-owned banks: Mahbub Alam, additional managing director of Southeast Bank, for Janata Bank; Nurul Huda, deputy managing director of Janata Bank, for BASIC Bank; and Noor Mohammed, deputy managing director of Jamuna Bank, for Agrani Bank. The Finance Division of the Ministry of Finance informed the banks' boards by separate letters on Monday, 26 October 2026, and asked them to appoint the three on three-year contracts. The Finance Division also withdrew its earlier order of 19 October cancelling the remaining tenure of Shawkat Ali Khan as managing director of Sonali Bank, so he will continue for the rest of his term. No nominees have yet been named for the managing director posts at BDBL and Rupali Bank.

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.
