Neutral summary
The Ministry of Public Administration issued a notification on Monday appointing Ahsan Habib, previously acting chairman of the National Board of Revenue (NBR), as NBR chairman, effective immediately in the public interest. He was also appointed secretary of the Internal Resources Division (IRD) under the President's 10 percent quota, according to the notification. He had been serving in an acting capacity for about four months after being appointed on June 29. The notification states he will return to his parent cadre before retirement. Outlets reported that his appointment marks the first time an NBR officer has been named chairman of the board.
Where accounts differ. The Daily Waadaa gives his acting appointment date as June 30 while Jugantor and UNB say June 29, and only Jugantor and Waadaa describe the acting period as beginning in July or June 30 respectively.

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.
