Role of Media in Uncovering Political Corruption in South Asian Perspective

Asian Journal of Public Affairs, volume 5, issue 1 (2012), pp. 20-37
"Bangladeshi media have undergone significant changes since the 1990s. Despite a boom in the media industry, journalists are reluctant to uncover the misdeeds of politicians because of threats and torture. The media has been politicised in Bangladesh as media supporting the incumbent party in power work towards exposing the perceived misdeeds of the opposition. However, the empirical data show that there is a third category beyond this paradigm, which uncovers the political misdeeds across the parties to the wider populace." (Abstract)
