Neutral summary

from 3 outlets' reporting

The government has withdrawn its order cancelling the remaining contract term of Md. Shawkat Ali Khan, Managing Director of state-owned Sonali Bank, seven days after issuing it. The Financial Institutions Division of the Finance Ministry announced the withdrawal in a notification on Monday, 26 October. The original cancellation decision was taken on 19 October. Sonali Bank's board was informed by letter, and a Finance Ministry official told Jago News Khan will continue as MD and CEO with no obstacle to his work. Separately, the government appointed new managing directors for Agrani, Janata and Basic Banks for three-year terms: Md. Mahbub Alam (Janata), Md. Nurul Huda (Basic) and Nur Mohammad (Agrani). Dainik Bangla also reported on Bangladesh Bank's reform roadmap addressing rising non-performing loans.

Where accounts differ. Manab Zamin and Dainik Bangla report only the withdrawal and new appointments, while Desh TV adds that the Janata and Rupali Bank MD/CEO contract cancellations were also ordered on the same day, a detail the others omit.

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.
