Press is powerful in Bangladesh
People are the ultimate judge to give verdict about success or failures of a government. Although a third world country, Bangladesh is far better than many developing countries in case of free access of information. Here the newspapers, private TV, periodicals, weeklies are abundant. The writers of those print media are freely writing their views in those papers without any fear. This situation is good for establishing democracy. As a citizen I am proud of my country. In fact print media in Bangladesh is very powerful. I believe the first pre-requisite of democracy is "free press”. The free press has more responsibilities to deliver correct information to the people. Confusing news from media create unnecessary rifts among the friends living abroad and to people at home. So they should play major role in bringing democracy in the country.
