Neutral summary

from 2 outlets' reporting

Mo. Ahsan Habib has been appointed chairman of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) and full secretary of the Internal Resources Division, according to a gazette notification issued on Monday, 26 October, by the Ministry of Public Administration's higher appointments section under a presidential order. He had previously served in both posts in an acting capacity. The notification, signed by Deputy Secretary Jeti Pru, appoints him on deputation from a 10 per cent presidential quota and says he will return to his own cadre before retirement. The order takes effect immediately, the notification said. Habib joined government service on 15 November 1995 after placing first in the 15th BCS tax cadre, and has held posts including Dhaka tax zones, the Central Intelligence Cell and the Directorate of Inspection of Taxes.

Article analysis

3out of 10

Band BLocalised faults

Factual headline on an appointment; narration is mostly descriptive wire-style roundup, with one unattributed line praising the appointee's competence and a minister's quoted accusation against an unnamed syndicate.

Six of the six outlets that covered this event headlined it neutrally.

The faults are local; the reporter's narration stays descriptive.

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.
