Why do major international outlets cover a political upheaval from New Delhi instead of Dhaka? And what gets missed when a country in crisis is reported at regional distance rather than from the ground?

In "Bangladesh: Why Were Foreign Correspondents Absent?" by @BhamToLahore , the article examines why much of the international coverage of Bangladesh’s 2024 anti-government protests and Sheikh Hasina’s ouster was produced by foreign correspondents based outside the country, particularly in New Delhi. It points to concrete factors, including accreditation denials for foreign reporters during the January 2024 elections, risks of harassment or deportation, and the broader economics of South Asia bureau coverage, while arguing that distance can flatten the cultural and political specificity of events on the ground.

The article’s central warning is that when foreign reporting is absent, local journalists carry the burden of frontline coverage, but their work does not always receive the reach, protection, or institutional weight it deserves.

Podcasting isn’t just entertainment anymore; it is rewriting the rules of journalism. Can this audiowave break the grip of the old gatekeepers and pull voices from the Global South to the center where they belong?

Dive into Anam Hussain’s piece and see how podcasting lets journalists bypass corporate filters, amplify voices the mainstream media routinely sidelines, and tell stories with depth.

It could be considered a quiet revolt against the information order that has shaped global narratives for decades. The real question is whether the gatekeepers are ready to lose their monopoly.

My latest for @AJEnglish: Air pollution is a growing crisis in Pakistan, with children bearing the brunt. Their voices and powerful drawings tell a story we must hear. Thanks to @rafay_alam, Dr. Cheema, Sabahat Rafiq, and Natasha Wali for their invaluable contributions.

In the recent political upheaval in Bangladesh, many foreign journalists reported from nearby regions like New Delhi. This absence underscored the vital role of local journalists in providing firsthand accounts. The events highlighted the importance of both local and foreign journalism, showing that Bangladesh’s story deserves to be told with depth and richness from both local insights and international perspectives.
