💨 Abstract

Bangladesh is celebrating World Press Freedom Day amidst challenges to media freedom due to political changes. Over two dozen media outlets have changed leadership, journalists face murder charges, job cuts, and cancelled accreditation. Golam Rahman, Editor of Ajker Patrika, states that editors feel unsafe to express their opinions. The interim government denies intervention in media houses, but Rahman claims some representatives of the government ordered changes in leadership.
