‘Ek Nojor’ Media Platform Aims to Combat Rumors

In response to the growing trend of rumor-mongering on social media, a new media platform named ‘Ek Nojor’ is being launched to address the rising concerns of misinformation and disinformation. The platform is designed to operate similarly to social media, with a focus on public contributions. Subscribers will play an active role by sharing and submitting content related to news, events, and important issues.

However, what sets ‘Ek Nojor’ apart is its commitment to curbing misinformation. To achieve this, the platform will have a powerful moderation panel that will oversee the content shared and ensure accuracy. A dedicated fact-checking team will be in place to verify the authenticity of information, preventing the spread of misleading or false narratives.

‘Ek Nojor’ aims to create a responsible media environment where subscribers can stay informed and contribute meaningfully while ensuring that rumors and fake news are promptly identified and addressed. Through these mechanisms, the platform aspires to play a vital role in safeguarding the public from misinformation and fostering a more informed and aware society.

What is Politics?

Politics involves the activities, actions, and strategies used to gain, maintain, or influence power, both in governments and other collective decision-making environments. Derived from the Greek word "polis," meaning city-state, politics originally referred to governance in ancient Greek communities. Today, politics extends beyond government to any group setting where decisions are made, such as organizations, schools, and even families. For example, in schools, rules are established through political processes involving principals, teachers, and student councils, reflecting the broader role of politics in daily life. Learn more...

The ‘1 Nojor’ media platform is currently under development.
