bdnews24.com is an English and Bengali language news website of Bangladesh. It is one of the blatantly biased mainstream media in the country and an example media representation cancer. As of April 2018, its Alexa ranking was 31 in Bangladesh and 7,183 globally.
History
In 2005, the company launched initially as the country’s first exclusively web-based news agency, and was known as BDNEWS. The other two national news agencies at the time were the state-owned Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) and the privately-owned United News of Bangladesh (UNB), which at the time were teleprinter-based "wire services". Following a take-over in mid-2006 at the agency's holding company Bangladesh News 24 Hours Ltd, ownership is vested between two sole board directors: Managing Director and Editor-in-Chief Toufique Imrose Khalidi, and Chair of the company Asif Mahmood.
In October 2006, bdnews24.com relaunched as Bangladesh's first free online newspaper, and was rebranded as bdnews24.com. Editor-in-Chief Khalidi is a journalist and former BBC broadcaster. On 28 May 2012 the office of bdnews24.com was attacked by men with machetes injuring three journalists.
