Question Can we take "Kaaler kontho" seriously?

Kaaler kontho articles are being regularly shared in this forum,
If we read these articles and compare with other news papers ,there is certainly a big difference.
Kaaler kontho articles are like the media gossip articles.
-relation between players,coach selectors
-incidents( galigalaj,angul dekhano etc)
-personality related
etc.
many of us here say that Kaaler kontho journalists practice yellow journalism.
some of us believe these articles,some ignore.

During this Zim series,too many articles from this n.paper are being posted,
the same happended during WC11.
It seems like whenever our team looks in bad shape, the journalists of KK are back in business & deliver us such news/gossip.

I'm personally tired of this so my question is can we trust them or should we ignore?is this yellow journalism or are they doing the right thing that reporters from other n.papers are not allowed to?

C'mon how can you eat without salt and spices ? KK adds flavor to our boring and monotonous discussion.

I would say, read it, laugh at it and then forget it

All these Kaler kontho news have also been repeated by other medias. Even if they don't, no newspaper can get away printing false report. A simple protest can make them apologize or taken to court. So when they write something, they definitely have proper reference/source. Take for example the news of doladoli. Did anyone from the team protest? NO. Because it's true. Then the sellection issue, they were right which many of us rejected as kaler kontho. So we shouldn't blame/reject a newspaper as a whole, every news paper has journalists who sometimes exaggerate things and those are protested by concerned people if found wrong, and they publish apologoies.

Media sometimes makes report on small evidences, to probe the issue and then gradually we see the event opening. The media may not be 100% right in it's initial report but we might discover even worse situation. It's a job of free media and they help us by doing it.

Seeing the current performance of the team, Don't you want to know more of the team to understand the reasons? KK has taken an initiative to unearth those and most of their reports have been credible till now. So, pl don't make a huge difference between KK or PA ... all are run by same quality of journalists .... Believe no media blindly, neither reject without thinking.

A news paper is should be judged by the following in my opinion:
1. Accuracy of Reporting- articles must be based on facts and not hunches and own interpretations
2. Respect to Privacy-A balance between respecting individual privacy and feeding public interest on the issue should be maintained.

3.Presentation/Language & Tone

4.Harm limitation- here the question is whether everything that the reporter finds out should be reported or not? Should the reporter use information as a selling point even if it hurts the image of Bangladesh and damages the cricket team as a whole During the tour?

In my opinion Kaaler Kantha fails on four counts
their reporting = tabloid garbage

Kaler Kantha is owned by Basundara Limited ! The owner of the Basumdara Limited is a criminal as we all know. During the care taker regime in Bangladesh, he fled the country and we all know how luxurious life he is maintaining for last few years by embezzling money from banks, killing folks to grab lands and so on. These criminals need a platform to propagate their agenda and in the process, blackmailing others whenever situation demands.

So, you, be the judge when you read this kind of garbage. I feel sorry for those journalists who are making a living out of this tabloid

No offence but this is bangladesh, mate! newspapers can do exactly what you are telling that they can't do. They can publish false news against their rival, ask for money to you for blackmailing purpose, ignore protests and fire someone for reporting the truth.

Kalerkantha is a very good fiction magazine , offcourse ...

I proposed that a long time ago during Shakib loitta incident. They not only publish false news about cricket but do it about everything. They claimed that PA editor is related to 21 august grenade attack and later had to apologise to the press council. They did that as a revenge for publishing their owners crimes. They have as much credibilty as manobjomin tbh.

Bad idea IMO. You either allow their sensationalized spicy news to be posted here or just ban it. Nothing in between.

I considered that and it's a common factor for all bangladesh media/newspaper, so no need to consider it specially for KK.

Ya and all the other media owners are HAZRATs..... who other than a criminal can launch & run a news paper in Bangladesh? Come one by one with your fav news papers, i will tell you background of its owner, if you dont know.

And wasn't our PM charged for corruption? infact is there any top politician who doesnt have a corruption/criminal charge against him? you must feel pitty for urself being a citizen under such people as well.

Some people here are really claiming like BAKSHAL, ban x, ban y ...
