BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said that a large section of the media has now become business-driven, raising concerns over press freedom.
Speaking at a discussion event at the National Press Club marking the death anniversary of Ziaur Rahman, he said journalism must remain free and independent rather than profit-oriented.
Information Minister Jahir Uddin Swapon also spoke at the event, saying Ziaur Rahman played a key role in building a free media environment in the country.
