The document discusses the prison system of Bangladesh. It begins by providing context on the history and development of prisons globally and in Bangladesh. It notes that currently, the prison population in Bangladesh greatly exceeds capacity, with around 88,500 prisoners compared to a maximum capacity of 27,000. The Inspector General of Prisons is working to reform the system by improving employee training, addressing corruption, providing vocational training to prisoners, and increasing capacity. However, overcrowding and poor conditions persist as reforms take time to implement fully.
The document summarizes the agenda-setting theory of mass media proposed by Walter Lippmann and empirically tested by McCombs and Shaw in 1972. Their study in North Carolina found a strong relationship between the issues given priority in media coverage and those issues the public considered most important, supporting the theory that the media agenda influences the public agenda. This marked the beginning of recognizing the media's ability to shape public perceptions of what issues are most salient.

Bangladesh is standing in 144th place in the Press Freedom index given by “Reporters without Borders”. Bangladeshi journalist-government relation has not been easy going since their independence in 1971. Media maintains an intimate relationship with the main political parties-Bangladesh Nationalist Party and the Awami League. As a result, Bangladesh journalists’ union is not a single organisation. They are acting in separate groups- Bangladesh Federal Journalists union who are imitating the current opposition party and Dhaka Journalists Union who are obliged to the ruling party.

MacBride commission-one voice many nations-NWICOAnil Fernandes
The MacBride Report was published in 1980 by the International Commission for the Study of Communication Problems, chaired by Sean MacBride. The report analyzed issues with the modern mass media landscape, such as the concentration of media power in Western countries. It made 82 recommendations to establish a new world information and communication order with more equitable flows of information between developed and developing nations. However, the report's recommendations were controversial and led Western countries like the US and UK to withdraw from UNESCO.
The document provides an overview of the internet including:
- A definition of the internet as a worldwide system of interconnected computer networks.
- Descriptions of some basic internet services including electronic mail, file transfer protocol, telnet, usenet news, the world wide web, and social networking.
- Brief discussions of how the internet developed over time, starting in the late 1950s, and how it grew with developments like the world wide web in the early 1990s.
The Knowledge Gap Hypothesis proposes that as the mass media disseminates information to a social system, those with higher socioeconomic status will acquire and understand the information faster and more thoroughly than those with lower socioeconomic status, widening the gap in knowledge between the two groups. The hypothesis was first proposed in 1970 and suggests this gap is more likely to occur on topics of general interest covered by mass media, like public affairs and science, rather than more specialized topics. Factors that can contribute to the knowledge gap include differences in communication skills, previous knowledge, social contacts, and how the mass media system is oriented.
The document discusses freedom of access to information and privacy in Pakistan, outlining key definitions, the historical background and laws around FOAI and privacy both internationally and in Pakistan. It also examines benefits and limitations of FOAI, how to make FOAI requests, and the role of libraries in promoting access to information while maintaining privacy.
The document summarizes the key aspects of the Motion Pictures Ordinance of 1979 in Pakistan. Some key points:
- It established boards to censor films and regulate film exhibition through cinemas. The boards would examine films and certify them for public viewing or require edits.
- No films could be publicly exhibited without certification. Applications had to be made to the board who could grant unrestricted or restricted viewing certification.
- Guiding principles for certification included not sanctioning films prejudicial to Islam or national security/integrity, or those encouraging offenses.
- Appeals of board decisions could be made to the federal government. Suspension of viewing and seizures of films were also allowed in some cases
The Press Council of India is a statutory body that governs print and broadcast media in India to ensure freedom of speech. It was established in 1966 and can warn or censure journalists for ethics violations. It has 28 members including editors, journalists, management, and nominees from Parliament and fields like education. The Council handles complaints against and by the press, investigates issues like press freedom and media standards, and can direct authorities to ensure journalists' security. In one case, it recommended police protect a journalist receiving threats after publishing critical reports until the related criminal case was resolved.
The document discusses Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann's spiral of silence theory of communication. The theory proposes that individuals are less likely to express opinions they believe are in the minority due to fear of isolation. It also suggests that the media can influence which opinions are perceived as majority or minority views. The document outlines the key assumptions, factors, and examples of the theory, as well as its strengths in explaining how public opinion may change over time, especially on controversial issues.
This document discusses media and its role in society. It defines media as various means of communication like newspapers, radio, television, and the internet. It then outlines some key roles of media such as educating people about human rights, building society, and raising awareness about social, economic, and evil issues. The document also lists some reasons for the growth of media in Pakistan, including increased literacy rates and policies promoting private media sectors. It discusses advantages like education and updates, as well as disadvantages like improper content. Overall, the document emphasizes the responsibility of media to report information in an unbiased way and obtain all sides of stories.
The document discusses censorship and its effects on freedom of the press. It provides definitions of censorship and its different types such as corporate, military, moral, religious, and political censorship. The document also discusses how political affiliations within media can influence the type of news and perspective presented, compromising impartiality and objectivity. Media laws and PEMRA, Pakistan's media regulatory authority, are also mentioned in regards to regulating broadcasting and ensuring satisfactory service.
The Press Council of Pakistan Ordinance establishes a council to implement an ethical code of practice for newspapers and journalists. The council, composed of 19 members including journalists, editors, and media experts, oversees complaints and ensures press freedom and standards. It can form inquiry commissions to investigate ethical violations and recommend actions like publishing apologies or suspending publications. The council aims to balance press freedom with professional responsibility.
The role and impact of media in Pakistan has evolved significantly over time. Originally established to promote the idea of Pakistan pre-independence, media laws and oversight were tightened under successive military rulers Ayub Khan and Zia-ul-Haq. However, under Musharraf in 2002, private electronic media flourished as regulations were liberalized. While media has brought greater awareness of rights and exposed corruption, there are also concerns it sometimes prioritizes crises over good news or exploits freedoms for profit over national interests. Both print and electronic media also show contradictory approaches at times.
PEMRA is responsible for regulating TV and radio in Pakistan and enforcing the Electronic Media Code of Conduct. It has taken actions like issuing notices, warnings, and fines against channels that violate the code by airing inappropriate content. PEMRA also provides training and advice to channels. While PEMRA has shown more proactivity under its new chairman, fully implementing the code remains a challenge, and media organizations need to practice more self-censorship to broadcast responsibly.

The commission's 1980 report, known as the MacBride Report, analyzed problems in the world communication system and imbalances between developed and developing nations. It considered complaints from non-aligned nations and tried to understand concerns of Western nations. The report defined issues causing conflicts between Eastern and Western blocs in transnational communication.
1. Bangladesh currently lacks a comprehensive Broadcasting Policy to regulate its growing broadcast media landscape which now includes over 10 TV channels and radio stations.
2. A Broadcasting Policy is needed to promote culture and values, ensure economic interests and national sovereignty, and make sure media fulfills social responsibilities, while also protecting freedom of expression.
3. The policy should maximize the positive impacts of media and minimize negative impacts. It should provide guidelines around content, ownership rules to prevent monopolies, and address consumer complaints. Having one overall policy is preferable to separate laws for different media types.

The document also analyzes the threats from substitutes like cable TV and IPTV, as well as discusses the bargaining power of suppliers and customers in the DTH industry in India.
Community radio stations provide essential services to local communities but face challenges in maximizing their impact. They must enhance broadcasters' skills in areas like digital technologies and integrating STEAM subjects into programming while avoiding online risks. Stations also need to accelerate ICT applications to benefit communities, introduce new formats like fact-checking and mobile journalism, and take a "training plus" approach to build multi-generational reach and sustain their role in serving the public interest.
The document discusses the history and evolution of community radio around the world from the experimental period in the 1900s-1940s to the current resurgence period from the 1990s to today. It then focuses on community radio in Bangladesh, highlighting strategies for women's empowerment, child development, and an inclusion strategy.

Journalists face unprecedented challenges covering COVID-19 accurately, fairly, and safely. They must verify facts, check sources, and combat misinformation on social media. Their stories must be based on truth and science, not opinions or speculation. Media should focus more on affected communities through an equity lens, help people adapt to the new normal, and accelerate use of technology. They must revisit ensuring timely, reliable information reaches the public to counter "infodemics" and support livelihoods. Further focus is needed on media guidelines for COVID-19, protecting journalists, pandemic reporting skills, and vaccine education.
The document discusses the role of community radio stations in Bangladesh in providing information to communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ministry of Information, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh has announced New Community Radio Installation Broadcast and Operation Policy 2017 by Bangladesh Gazette on 8 February 2018.
According to the preamble of Bangladesh Gazette, At the age of the enormous development of science and information technology the world turns to be a ‘Global Village’. It has been assumed that the importance of radio has declined at the age of the global domination of electronic media but in reality, the importance of radio hasn’t decreased in developed, developing & least developed countries. Moreover, radio is playing the vital role by its new initiatives of creative programming to develop education, culture, humanitarian values, and awareness for the cross-section of people of the society. In continuation of these realities, a number of community radios have been installed which are dedicated to the different grass root communities and population of the society of Bangladesh.
These radio stations, known as community radio have been operating in local dialects of the peripheral communities, and with their participation and management. Community Radios are engaged with the help of modern knowledge and technology to bring positive change in the society by local folk culture.
