Dr. Mohammed Mahtab Hossain Mazed
Today is Saturday (3 May q) World Free Media Day 2025 A newspaper is published every day with the talent, meditation and artistic view of the newspaper editing department and the newspaper. The newspaper is called the 4th pillar of the state. The treasure of knowledge. Again it is said that the pioneer of civilization and the honorable person of the creative talented societyThe celebration of the day was announced at the UN General Assembly in the 1993th to create analysis and evaluation opportunities. UNESCO has already informed the program on the occasion of the day.
To ensure importance and to strengthen journalism, to work as a call to investigate the production, distribution and reception of the materials and to take initiative to progress transparency and empowerment without leaving anyone. The day passes through these formalities. The day comes every year.
'World Press Freedom Day' is celebrated around the world on 3 May every year. In Bangladesh, journalist organizations and various organizations organize discussions on this occasion. In a newspaper, the image of all the nation and the nation is found. As much as the freedom to publish newspapers in our country. There is also the opportunity to express the views of the citizens of the country.
The Declaration of Windohaw was announced at a joint venture between UNESCO and UNDPI in Windohoy, Namibia, Africa, from 29 April to 3 May, to identify the basic ideals of the newspaper independence.
1993 On 20 December, the UN General Assembly was declared 'World Press Independence Day' on 03 May. The newspaper created the first wave of civilization development. Bangladesh is currently moving forward as an IT country. Gradually its steps will increase further. Art, education, literature, culture, technology principles are adopted everywhere. It is also coming up in the newspaper industry. The news and journalists did not stop the masses during the global corn. Printing, electronis and online media of the country are bringing their news to the country and the nation at a pause.
Let's see where we stand on World -Free Media Day. On the eve of this day, journalists' organizations also publish a global freedom of the media every year.
In our country, a course called Diploma-In-Jernalism was introduced in the Faculty of Arts under Dhaka University. After independence, the course was closed and the Honors Course was introduced. Honors and master degree courses were introduced in public relations and journalism in all public schools and in private twenty schools in that decade. It can be said that the newspaper is developing in our country.
Prior to 2000, the country's newspapers published through printing industry. The newspaper was printed by spending hours after hours by setting up each letter of Bangla language through shisa or copper or iron metal. Which was the manifestation of patience and physical labor.
At present, in a short time, computer composing, pasteing, newspapers are currently published through automatic electrical printing printing. As a result, a milestone is opened by e-mail from anywhere in the country. Not only that- the news is being made to the reader even in the video. Its craftsman is our journalist.
Journalist is helping to find newspapers in a very modern way by gaining knowledge of free information technology and internet day after day. As a result, any news, subject, picture and related backs can be published through very excellent and industrial craft. It is called the mirror of a society. The various events around us are important and exceptions that are interested in knowing the common people, we need to know the need to present it to the media. A news meets one's needs, eliminates the inconsistencies of a society, presents history traditions. That is, the news of the people to know the hunger. And the media that is expressed is the media. In the definition of the news, John Bogart said that dogs are not biting news, but it is news when people bite the dogThe media of Bangladesh has a long history. During the Pakistan era, our media was in hand. But journalists have had to serve the news for the people of this country as there was no freedom of expression. Social media has been associated with this on the non -nonsense platformOn the occasion of this development of the media, some self -styled palaces and non -non -existent journalism came into the profession of journalism. They started the legendary journalism in the self -styled palace and political upheaval. As a result, it is difficult to retain the quality of journalism. Anyone who comes today is a media editor. But in journalism there is no provision to be an editor without 15 years of experience. But it's happening. Because of this, anyone is distorting journalism and serving the news. Impressing the news in your own interest. In the wrong journalism is provoking the societyThe law was enacted 19975 on 16 June. the journalist leaders of the 'News Paper Declaration Analysis Ordinance'. Until then, journalists had no pay structure. Owners did not pay regular salary to journalists.
Establish good governance to fulfill this goal is the state of course of the state and corruption is an important and essential power in establishing that good governance. It is necessary for him to eradicate corruption by implementing law and punishing it only
To create a movement in the state and social fields, so that citizens are characterized, the establishment of the state and individual -owned and civil society institutions.
In establishing good governance, people need to be encouraged to live moral life. The behavioral excellence influenced by honesty is that he follows. He should have loyalty to the black standard of society, principles and customs. In establishing the rule of law, the person-level duties and honesty, the character of the person are very important.
For this reason, the existing laws and regulations have to be pledged to make corruption as a movement. With the intention of the government to implement that commitment effectively, the active efforts of the media are important.
There is a long -term context behind the disadvantage of the people over the media of Bangladesh. Over the past two decades, the political flattery, opportunistic behavior and the biased role of the media in the name of journalism have endangered the basic principles of journalism. The tendency to immersed the policy of journalism in the greed of plot, flat or some more personal gains has weakened the acceptance of journalism to the common people.
However, this reality should not allow the present government or any other party to blame the entire media. It is absolutely wrong to corrupt the entire profession for some exceptional behavior. Rather, it is the state's responsibility to take drastic action against the harassment of journalists and ensure their work environment.
The attempt to stop independent journalism by pressing the media or harassment may temporarily protect one's interests, but in the long run it is detrimental to the state and society. In a democratic society, freedom of expression is important not only in the eyes of the law but also in real practice. The journalists need to take action on the basis of proper investigation and evidence of the case, so that no innocent person is harassed. Similarly, a transparent and fair process needs to be introduced for steps such as canceling the accreditation card.
Just as the government has the responsibility of protecting the freedom of the media, journalists have to be vigilant about their professional morality and responsibility. In the past, the example of flattery or prejudice in the name of journalism has to come out. At the same time, to build an independent and responsible media, one must work on the basis of mutual confidence and respect between all parties.
> Challenges
Due to social media, integrity, interest or cheap work in the world of information flow have taken a big place. The task of real journalists is to avoid the fascination and establish the truth. No matter how much people try to float through social media, they will finally find the truth. The media can assist the common people in the right information flow and obtain accurate information in the right information flow. Here comes the responsibility of journalism. The responsibility of journalism is towards society and life.
There are now questions about the acceptance of the media, the personal qualifications of journalists and the social responsibility of journalism. As the number of newspapers in the country increases, the number of journalists is increasing and in many cases these journalists are failing to meet professional standards and expectations of society.
Social and humanitarian responsibility
The relationship between the media and the society is very deep. The media has developed to shelter the society. The media was the first to try to meet the needs of the people. It has stopped and continued to curb people's curiosity. With the development of society and civilization, the media has developed. Character and appearance have changed drastically in the media world. Over the time, people have nurtured different values and the media has spread those values for social welfare.
The responsibility of the media and the responsibility of the society towards the society is truly developed naturally. The media has always contributed outstanding in the right and social system of society and social system. There is also deviation. It's normal However, the role of the media as a whole is always commendable.
> The worldwide Press Freedom report says that from 2016to 2021, 455 journalists have to be murdered because of their work. The most journalist murders were reported in Mexico from 2016 to 2020. After that, Afghanistan and the Syrian Arab Republic of 2024 are in 18 countries around the worldAt least 124 journalists were killed.In 2021, 180 people were killed and 5 journalists were killed in 2022. Bangladesh is number 152 in the World Press Freedom Index in 2021. Our country is among the countries that are 'bad' for journalism Countries like Brazil, Russia and Mexico are also on the list Norway is at the top of the list of those countries Then there are the names of Finland, Sweden and Denmark Nepal 107 in South Asian countries, Sri Lanka 127 andMyanmar is at number 140 That is, the banking of these three neighboring countries is better than Bangladesh Pakistan is 142 and 142 in IndiaAnd last year, five journalists were killed and five were injured in Gaza after the launch of Israeli forces operations. Journalists demanding the fundamental right to work independently today
Finally, in the democratic society, the media is called the fourth pillar of the state because of the expected role in ensuring freedom of expression and the right to information. It is time for the students to reform the goal of establishing 'democracy, discriminatory society, rule of law and good governance'.
The process of exchange between citizens and the media is very important in the formation of a culture and responsible rights society developed from the roots. One of the responsibilities of the media is to create credibility with the right information of consumers and to hold it. To achieve this, the media must be independent, neutral, objective and courageous. But most of the media failed to fulfill the duties of the beneficiaries and the unscrupulous cycle loyal to fascist politics. In addition, some of the laws of the media, controlled journalism and internal problems have been hampered.
Journalist of the watchman of the society. The main responsibility of the media is to inform the people of all incidents and accidents, including inconsistencies, irregularities, human rights violations. Due to the fascist governance, black money, mafia cycle and non -existence, the media has been eliminated from this philosophy. Besides, the role of journalists who believe in this philosophy, protection is also narrow. This is because their union is now divided into political lines. If the media does not return to its original philosophy, the dream of building a desired democratic and discriminatory society will remain inadvertent. However, many people also say that this expansion has only happened on the outside, not in the heart or the soul. Maybe this is why the 'Commitment' of journalism also arises in many cases. Must have a wide range of speed, color, content, etc. The TV show is 'live' or being straight. Everything on the mobile phone or the iPad screen is now on hand. Newspapers from all parts of the world can now be read in Nimish. All languages, all characters, all newspapers are now international; The media is not just domestic or regional today, but there is no opportunity to stay. Because of this, many people are afraid of 'online' in this age of print or printed paper newspaper or not! Something lost. But I do not think the taste of the print can be denied. I believe, print and will be in my own dignity; Even after the extensive expansion of the electronic book, the joy of touching the book has not diminished today. Many complain that journalism has not increased as the body as the body has grown or in the 'commitment'. In many cases journalism has been 'advertising' and 'propaganda'. In some cases, trade has been the main. If these allegations are not in practice, neither the reason to take it, then some of the major obstacles of the present journalism should be identified. Because if this identification can be done and can work with that goal, journalism will be gloriousI believe that the opponent of the free or independent newspaper like the previous day is not just the autocratic government or the state power. The environment or situation has changed. The world has mostly changed. They are mostly democratic. But in the democratic state, there are obstacles to various clever laws, which are not conducive to independent journalism. Beyond that, many more opponents stand. Like a. Domination of big capital, b. Domination of trade, c. Domination of intolerant parties and self -styled groups, d. Domination of religious extremism, e. The negative impact of the party's attitude of the news workers, f. Public interest consideration or 'commitment' deficit etc. There are certainly some other obstacles, which undermine the status of journalism. Such as in many cases the depreciation of the editorial organization, the lack of preparation and training of the news workers, etcEven then, the impact and expansion of journalism in the present age has increased, as well as the crisis. Journalism is undoubtedly an important profession, this profession claims greatness. However, it is important to know and obey that this profession is not just a job for news workers, or a business for the owners of the news industry. In many cases, journalism loses the dignity because it happens otherwise.
I believe the quality of journalism will increase if the crisis is tried to eliminate the crisis. These crises or opponents, which are mentioned in this small article, are bound to be different in one country and society. I just presented the words in my own realizationTherefore, following the basic principles of our journalism freedom and the establishment of free media, the evaluation of freedom of the global media, the oath to prevent the interference of independence and the memory of the victims and the life -giving journalists during professional duties and respect and respect for their memoriesOn the day
