Mufassil journalists in districts and upazillas

Wednesday, 16 July 2008


The role of journalism is the most heroic one. This involves also a human service, no doubt.

But many mufassil journalists, performing in districts and upazilas in our country, are fake ones. They have no proper identify cards. Even some of them, do work for some "local newspapers" which are defunct too.

The present caretaker government during this period of emergency should support efforts to combat the fake mufassil journalists in all districts and all upazilas to pave the way for committed journalists' performing better in a honest way serving well their own localities.

Many journalists are allegedly involved in amassing black money for publishing the news from the mufassil areas.

We would urge upon the caretaker government and its all other concerned agencies to look into the matter seriously soon and also punish the names of fake journalists in all districts and upazilas.

It is now an golden opportunity by the caretaker government to do this job.
