Narrative journalism
I strongly feel the need for analytical journalism especially in the field of print media through narrative reporting deviating from the traditional path of presenting day-to-day news only. I have been saying over the years that people get news from television, radio, Internet and now even from mobile phone. So why will they read paper for the same news if there is no in-depth and farsighted analysis and other interesting features? Standing at the dawn of the third millennium people are more conscious and would like to get instant news but the print media is not keeping pace with the demand satisfactorily due to many formidable reasons. English dailies should come out of this critical juncture of banality in the domain of news.
About the scope and facility of narrative reporting in Bangladesh I would maintain that scopes are there and existing facilities will make one enable to venture into this odyssey of journalism.
