“^ In leading a nat1on towards a new height of
development, electronic media can play a
tremendous role. Electron1c media 1n
Western countries does more than what their
people expect, supporting their national
development efforts, expanding their
markets, selling their cultures and imposing
their political ideologies on other parts of
the world. In South Asia, India is another
example where over a hundred satellites TV
channels are being operated, promot1n§
their culture and economy.

 The Effect of

** 1.Ind1an Med1a

** 2.Western Med1a
Bangladesh has achieved substantial progress in mass literacy,
publlc health, reduction of population growth and self
employment support for rural poor. Primary education is
compulsory and female education is free through the first eight
years. The strong commitment to primary education and to
gender equity means that three out of four girls now enter
primary education.
Since the Pak1stan era, the government, be 1t civil1an or
M1l1tary, has pursued pol1Cy to control the press. More
often than not the m1litary junta or the party in power
used the country's media as a propaganda machine 1n 1ts
favor besides suppress1ng the voice of dissent. Freedom
of the press or expression has not developed due largely
 The med1a in Bangladesh is a mix of
government-owned and private med1a. There
are st1ll criminal penalties for libel,
defamation, and sed1t1on as well as
report1ng on national security issues.
Reporters can be held for up to 90 days
without trial under the 1974 Special
Powers Act. Media restr1ctions usually
increase during periods of polit1cal turmoil.
Reporters without Borders has accused the
army of targeting journalists and enforcing
censorship.
