Information Minister vows to ensure the highest level of media freedom
He said they aim to bring the entire media management system under a modern framework.
Zahir Uddin Swapan, the Information and Broadcasting Minister, has said the government will ensure the highest level of media freedom.
“Taking into account the views of journalists and all stakeholders, we will determine the framework of accountability while guaranteeing maximum freedom for the media to ensure the free flow of information to the public,” he said.
He made the remarks on Friday morning while speaking to reporters after a meeting at the Barishal Circuit House.
The minister noted that Bangladesh has yet to fully align itself with the modern, technology-driven global media landscape.
“We aim to place the entire media management system within a modern framework. When the Information Ministry was first established, technology-based media did not exist. Even with the rapid growth of digital and tech-driven media today, we have not adapted as required,” he added.
In response to another question, he said he was not yet fully aware of the reasons behind the reported misunderstanding and divisions between judges and lawyers at the Barishal court.
