News on time is not the future of journalism. It is the present.
Not much earlier. Only a few years ago I visited a district outside Dhaka. It was famous for its tourist attraction. And very amazingly, with so many attractions, I missed the daily newspaper of the day. Enquiring the matter, I came to know that the newspapers would reach in that town at afternoon and in some cases in the evening. Though the situation might have changed but the reality has also been altered as well. Today, when the news papers reach at the hands of the readers does not matter much. The online news portal replaced the requirement. And all forms of news providers have adapted to this new dimension of online journalism.
It is said that the news goes faster than the wind goes. Though it was said, but the reality was different. With the contribution of print media, the readers came to know the incident on the following day. If any accidents happened in Teknaf, it would reach in Tetulia on the next day, if reached actually, by virtue of newspapers. Though, the television has made it faster in deed. But the limitation of the electronic media especially the television media is visible in this regard. It has limitation of time for news coverage. It only telecast the important news of the country for the day. Many news left behind. It has to offer various other programmes for its viewers. Only the exclusive news television can serve the news for every time. But is it possible for all to keep their eyes on the television always? It is not possible for the people who work outside of their home.
Considering all the factors, the online news media can serve all those purposes. If you are in the office, you can read it at your free time. If you are on travel, your laptop and modem is well to do for it. If you have iPhone or android handset, you are available online. The news runs behind you. You do not run after news. News is at your fingertips or in your pocket. It is just a click away.
But where to click? What is that news portal which will provide the readers news as it happens? What is that news portal that gives the readers the information within the shortest possible time? What is that news portal that gives the news without any distortion? There is only one possible answer for all those queries of the readers and that is the banglanews.
Only two years have elapsed. It has now 30 million readers.
The overwhelming popularity that has gained that news portal is very likely for it. It deserves to be here. It is not undeserving for an online news portal like banglanews24.com.
It serves the news within the shortest possible time. It does not leave any news unpublished on its portal if it deserves to be so. Therefore, we can say that all news are equally important for us. We treat every news as important for someone or other which in result is important for the country above all. However, the news of high importance considering its national effect got its due treatment on our portal. In many occasions we even provide the live news for its visitors.
We provide the news at its earliest that a man can get who is not present on the spot. We provide the news within minutes or less. That’s why we call it 24*7. News is always live only with us. We put light on the news irrespective of the hours; day or night.
How it became possible? The full team working behind it is dynamic and full of life. Every individual own a feeling of responsibility for the nation to provide the news for the people. The people who are hunting the news throughout the country and the people who are shaping those for the readers are those who deserve the credit for today’s banglanews.
And last but not the least; nothing is possible without a dynamic and visionary leadership for any news portal.It needs a leader having true dynamism and progressive and positive outlook towards modern journalism. It needs a guardian who possess a way of thinking different from others which made him only one of its kind in this field. And banglanews24.com has got the pioneer of online journalism as its leader.
Another blending of a news portal that it should have is the combination of all inclusive features. To go to the closest of the readers of all types, publications of all categories features are equally important in addition to news. Only the news or the features cannot fulfill the satisfaction of the people. And banglanews, considering all those categories is positioned above all. However, the last and most essential critic of any news portal is the readers.
On this occasion, we are committed to our values. We are dedicated to go further to uphold the interest of the people and country. If we can contribute a little we will consider it immense and will encourage further to go ahead at this hour of three years anniversary. The readers will guide us to this of our futuristic journey.
