Observer Online Report

Information and Broadcasting Minister Zahir Uddin Swapan has said that the government will ensure the highest level of freedom for the media.

“Based on the opinions of journalists and all stakeholders, we will define the scope of accountability and ensure maximum freedom of the media to guarantee the free flow of information to the people,” he said.

The minister made the remarks on Friday morning while responding to questions from journalists after a meeting at the Barishal Circuit House.

He said that Bangladesh has yet to fully integrate with the modern, technology-driven global media ecosystem.

“We want to bring the overall media management system under a modern framework. When our Information Ministry was established, technology-based media did not exist. Even now, despite the rapid expansion of digital and technology-driven media, we have not been able to adapt in the way required,” he added.

Responding to another question from journalists, the minister said he was not yet fully informed about the reasons behind the reported misunderstanding and division between judges and lawyers at the Barishal court.
