Students of Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET) underscored the need for more investigative and follow up reports in the newspapers to achieve acceptability of readers. Newspapers should publish more investigative and follow up reports on economics, education and campus, sports, corruption, and the country’s remote areas, they added.
The KUET students made the comments when they were talking to the Bangladesh Post on the campus on Monday. Many students of the university sat with Khulna Correspondent of the daily on the campus and discussed about the newspaper. The students opined that though Bangladesh Post is a new newspaper, it is doing well in all sectors. Readers expect more from the English daily in the days to come.
Soumik Bhattacharya, last year student of Industrial Engineering and Management Department of the university, said, “More economic reports should be published in the paper. Most of the people do not know about SME loan. And so, they do not get SME loan though the government has initiated the project for betterment of the people. More economic reports should be published so that people can learn important matters from the papers.” Mahfuj Talukder of the same department said series reports should be published on Public Universities. Stories, articles, and poem by students should be published more in Bangladesh Post. This culture should be started from Bangladesh Post, he added.
Third year student of Urban and Regional Planning Department Kaji Ayesha Afroj said there are lots of international news in Bangladesh Post's sports page. News on local sports should be given more importance. Rubayet Islam said campus ambassador is needed for improving quality of the newspaper. However, Safia Zahin, a student of Urban and Regional Planning Department said the page making, news and feature makeup of Bangladesh Post is nice.
