Neutral summary

from 5 outlets' reporting

Prime Minister Tarique Rahman attended a dinner hosted by Yohei Sasakawa, honorary chairman of the Nippon Foundation and Sasakawa Peace Foundation, at the Hanagasumi restaurant in Meiji Kinenkan, Tokyo, on Monday (26 October). According to the reports, the two discussed possible Japanese cooperation in establishing a factory in Bangladesh to produce vaccines for controlling infectious diseases. Rahman recalled a meeting with Sasakawa in Dhaka in September and thanked him for his long-standing contributions to humanitarian aid, education and public health in Bangladesh. Attendees included Rahman's wife Dr Zubaida Rahman, several ministers and advisers, and Nippon Foundation executive director Takashi Arikawa. The Prime Minister's office issued a statement on the dinner, while a deputy press secretary also confirmed the details.

Where accounts differ. Only Bangla Edition attributes the dinner details to the Prime Minister's deputy press secretary, while Independent Television attributes them to the Prime Minister's office statement; the remaining outlets give no source.

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.
