Information Adviser Mahfuj Alam has said the government will enact the Journalist Protection Act within the next two to three months ‘at any cost’.
He made the announcement at a discussion titled ‘Self-regulation and Grievance in Media: Political and Policy Perspective’, organised by the Centre for Governance Studies (CGS) in Dhaka on Sunday.
On the proposed media commission, the adviser said the government is taking steps in a positive direction.
Speaking about the ‘Notun Kuri’ competition, Alam expressed doubts over whether the programme could be completed.
Although he did not specify the reason, he hinted that political parties might be behind it, reports UNB.
Kamal Ahmed, head of the Media Reform Commission, also spoke at the event.
