professional journalism
How professional is journalism in Bangladesh?
The International Workers’ Day, or May Day, was observed in Bangladesh with considerable fanfare, in step with global celebrations. Various organizations held rallies, meetings, and seminars focusing on labor rights. Everywhere, strong speeches were delivered, and hopeful words were shared.

A visit to the Department of Labour makes this reality clear—protests by workers with demands and grievances are an almost daily affair.
