This book is a pioneering study as it is the first to present an in-depth undertaking of the trends, patterns and prospects of the Bangladeshi media. The book is comprehensive as it covers the country's various mass media, new media, public relations and policy issues surrounding it. The book brings together communication and media scholars from within and outside of Bangladesh. The book is a collection of essays that provide an in-depth understanding of the changing Bangladesh mediascape. The essays focus on, respectively, specific media (television, radio, film, the press and photography), policy issues and the challenge of the new media to governance in an emerging and developing nation faced with innumerable economic, social and physical problems. The book deliberately avoids the development communication model and argues that market forces rather than planned state interventions will contribute to a more equitable communication environment for Bangladesh.
