Who we are

About Nazipur News

Nazipur News is an independent English-language digital newsroom based in Dhaka. We report on Bangladesh — its politics, economy, environment, science, culture and everyday life — and on the world events that shape it, with the sourcing discipline readers expect from a serious newspaper.

Why this newsroom exists

Bangladesh is one of the most consequential countries in South Asia and one of the least explained in English. Its garment factories clothe much of the world, its delta is a laboratory for climate adaptation, its labour migration underwrites economies across the Gulf, and its politics move faster than most foreign desks can follow. Yet much of the English-language coverage available to readers is either a rewrite of a wire dispatch or a headline stripped of the context that makes it meaningful.

Nazipur News was founded to close that gap. We publish original, explanatory journalism written for readers who want to understand a story rather than simply be alerted to it — professionals in Dhaka and Chattogram, students, researchers, and the millions of Bangladeshis living abroad who keep one eye permanently on home.

Our editorial promise is simple: we would rather publish one carefully reported piece than five fast ones. Every article on this site is written for a human reader first, and we would rather be late and right than early and wrong.

What we cover

Our reporting is organised around the beats that matter most to our readers, and we deliberately spend time on subjects that get little sustained attention elsewhere.

  • Bangladesh and Politics — governance, elections, institutions, local administration and public accountability.
  • Business and Economy — trade, ready-made garments, remittances, banking, energy, prices and the informal economy.
  • Environment and Science — river systems, salinity, cyclones, fisheries, agriculture research and public-health science.
  • Technology — the domestic startup economy, freelancing, digital policy and the practical effect of new tools on ordinary work.
  • Culture, Lifestyle, Travel and Sport — heritage crafts, food, cinema, music and the country's sporting life.
  • Explainers and analysis — long-form pieces that unpack a system, a supply chain or a policy from first principles.

How a story gets published

Every article begins with a reporting plan: what the claim is, who can confirm it, and what document or first-hand observation would prove it wrong. Reporters gather material from interviews, official records, published research, on-the-ground observation and data they compile themselves.

Drafts are then read by an editor who checks structure, fairness and the strength of each factual claim, and by a second reader for language and accuracy of names, numbers, dates and places. Where a subject of the story faces criticism, we seek a response before publication and reflect it in the piece.

Once published, a story stays under review. Reader feedback, new documents and follow-up reporting can all trigger an update, and every substantive change is disclosed to readers rather than made quietly.

Our editorial independence

Nazipur News's newsroom is operated separately from its commercial activity. Advertisers, sponsors and technology partners have no influence over what we cover, how we frame a story, or when it publishes. No advertiser sees a story before readers do.

Where content is paid for or commercially produced, it carries a clear label at the top of the page and is never presented in the voice of our reporters. Automated advertising, including advertising served by third-party networks, is placed by systems that have no access to editorial decisions.

We do not accept payment to publish, remove, amend or suppress a story. Requests to do so are declined and, where they are persistent or improper, may themselves become the subject of reporting.

Accuracy, corrections and accountability

We make mistakes, and when we do we fix them in public. Errors of fact are corrected in the text with a dated note explaining what changed. Our full approach is set out in our Corrections Policy and our reporting rules in the Editorial Standards & Ethics page.

Readers can reach an editor directly at newsroom@nazipurnews.com. We read everything sent to us and respond to correction requests within one working day.

Use of artificial intelligence

We use software the way any modern newsroom does — for transcription, translation, research assistance, copy-checking and, in some cases, drafting support. What does not change is the human obligation behind every article: a named editorial team verifies the facts, checks the sourcing and takes responsibility for what is published.

We do not publish machine-generated text as reporting without human verification and editing, and illustrative images generated by software are labelled. Photography credited to an agency, a photographer or a public archive is credited as such in the caption.
