If you don’t learn ethics in college, you probably won’t learn them on the job. You could easily learn the opposite.
That’s why SPJ debut a College Research Grant for Journalism Ethics during #SPJEthicsWeek. Congratulations to the two winners awarded: https://t.co/4MA9SjpS4x
As an International student with a background of minority group, I believe many of such Int’l students here in the U.S. are now facing severe anxieties following the ongoing changes in the U.S. system.
I request all the faculties to be more accommodating to these students.
TY.
If any other group of football fans had gone to a foreign city, chanted racist stuff, torn down flags, and then got attacked by locals... would they be presented as victims of a pogrom? I mean come on.
This utter rubbish is still up on @thehill@TheHillOpinion. Is this because
a) Bangladesh doesn't matter?
b) You don't care what dangerous lies are told about Bangladesh in your magazine?
c) All your opinion pieces are by uninformed careerist charlatans?

Since the resignation of the Bangladesh Awami League government, only Major General Zia of the National Telecommunications and Monitoring Center has been dismissed from service. A superficial reshuffling of senior officers occured to distract public attention, while crucially, no changes have been made among field commanders implicated in human rights violations during the student movement. Although the heads of the notorious intelligence agencies, the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) and the National Security Intelligence (NSI), were replaced, nearly all brigadier general-level directors, with records of extrajudicial killing and political affiliation with the Awamileague regime, remain unchanged.
This dangerous nexus between intelligence agencies, field commanders, and senior staff officers poses a severe threat to Dr. Yunus' interim government. The Chief of Army Staff (CAS) is surrounded by these influential figures. For instance, Lieutenant General Tabrez Shams, formerly Director General of DGFI and a key figure in the infamous Aynaghar, has been appointed Quartermaster General. He is next in line to become CAS should the current CAS be unable to serve.
During the recent crisis, Lieutenant General Muzib directed field commanders to use excessive force and maintained direct communication with awami ministers, bypassing the CAS. Now stationed as General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Army Training and Doctrine Command (ARTDOC), he has assembled several platoons in Mymensingh, possibly for ulterior motives. He has also provided refuge to 250 Indian embassy staff and high-profile political leaders in Dhaka Cantonment and may instigate unrest at an opportune moment. As a former Director General of the Special Security Force (SSF), he retains significant influence over the force that is responsible for Chief Advisors overall security.
Major General Moin, GOC of the 9th Division, used brutal force during operations in Jatrabari and other locations. His Artillery Brigade Commander, Brigadier Mahmud, is a staunch supporter of the Bangladesh Awami League and applied deadly force around Narayanganj. Another Brigade Commander, Brigadier Saifullah, formerly a military aide (AMS) to Sheikh Hasina, led raids at Jahangirnagar University. The 9th Division under Major General Moin is a significant threat to the government.
Annual shout-out to the @aejmc HQ staff for all they do to make the Association's conference gatherings successful. We're grateful for all you do! #aejmc24
Although there are media reports about homes of minorities have been torched or vandalised by mob in last 24 hours in BD, no credible reports of any Hindu was killed or raped. 'killing of over 500 Hindus' is untrue.
🚨 #Bangladesh: Mass arrests on protesters ongoing. Over 9,000 arrested in a crackdown on #studentprotests that saw at least 250 deaths of unarmed protesters and innocent people by the regime. We call for attention from international communities. #HumanRights#BangladeshProtests
Tremendous outpouring of support from Bangladeshi Texans at our State Capitol against the wrongdoing occurring in Bangladesh.
Good that Bangladesh's Supreme Court has belatedly reversed an earlier ruling that limited access to government jobs, but accountability and justice are needed.
I covered Bangladesh and Hasina for the @TheEconomist for fifteen years. This is perhaps the most awful and fateful decision I have seen her take. #Bangladesh
