Neutral summary

from 5 outlets' reporting

The Bangladesh government has appointed new managing directors on three-year contracts at three state-owned banks: Md. Mahbub Alam, additional managing director and chief risk officer of Southeast Bank, at Janata Bank; Nur Mohammad, deputy managing director of Jamuna Bank, at Agrani Bank; and Md. Nurul Huda, deputy managing director of Janata Bank, at Basic Bank. Orders issued Monday, 26 October, by the Financial Institutions Division of the Finance Ministry, signed by Deputy Secretary Afroza Akhter Riba. The government also withdrew an earlier order cancelling the remaining contract term of Sonali Bank MD Shaukat Ali Khan, issued 19 October. Reports say the appointments follow earlier cancellations of contract terms at six state banks under the interim government.

Where accounts differ. Amar Desh, Alokito Bangladesh and Daily Bangladesh report the withdrawal of the Sonali Bank MD's contract-term cancellation, which Daily Manobkantha and Dainik Bangla do not mention.

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.
