Many things that newspapers accomplish just cannot be replaced. Papers are a one-of-a-kind medium in the news industry that cannot be easily copied by TV, radio, or internet news operations. Newspaper reporters conduct the majority of original reporting — the ancient sort of job that entails stepping out from behind a computer and hitting the streets to interview actual people. Traditional media, particularly newspapers, continues to dominate by circulating most of the original news and information that we get to know each day. Every country has numerous publications that publish and circulate daily newspapers in different languages. Bangladesh also has a lot of publications and well-known newspapers, where mostly Bengali and English language are used. If you are confused about which newspaper you should choose for your daily read, we’re here to help. Here’s a list of 10 most famous Bengali newspapers published in Bangladesh. We randomly picked 10 names to maintain a chronological order without any sort of judgement from our end!
