An article by Muhammad Abdul Awal, president of the Rajshahi Union of Journalists, published on July 6, 2026, highlights the growing crisis and disunity within Bangladesh’s journalism sector. It stresses that journalism, as a profession rooted in truth and public interest, now faces threats from political and corporate pressure, low pay, job insecurity, and internal divisions. The author calls for stronger unity among journalists to defend professional rights, ensure safety, and uphold independent reporting.
The piece outlines that unity is not merely organizational but a collective commitment to truth, justice, and professional ethics. It identifies political polarization, leadership conflicts, and inequality between national and local journalists as major barriers to solidarity. The article also warns that disunity weakens journalists’ ability to resist injustice and undermines democracy.
Awal urges journalist leaders to rise above personal and political interests, strengthen professional organizations, and promote training, digital security, and fair labor practices. He concludes that only a united and responsible journalist community can safeguard press freedom, public trust, and democratic accountability in Bangladesh.
