State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Yasser Khan Chowdhury stated that the current government does not believe in controlling the media and upholds the principle of media freedom as directed by the Prime Minister. He made the remarks on Monday at the Secretariat during a 'BSRF Dialogue' organized by the Bangladesh Secretariat Reporters Forum. The minister emphasized that the government is working to ensure accurate information flow and will take effective measures to prevent online misinformation and character assassination.
Yasser Khan said the government’s main goal is to deliver precise news to the public and strengthen the digitalization process. He mentioned ongoing discussions with media-related organizations, including the Cable Operators Association of Bangladesh and IPTV representatives, regarding policy updates such as the 2014 IPTV guidelines. He also noted that journalists’ wages and benefits are under government consideration and may see positive decisions in the upcoming budget.
The minister added that a policy is being developed to ensure transparency in government advertisement distribution and that the Secretariat’s media facilities will be modernized soon.
