The government has started the process of registration for online news portals in the country. The information ministry issued a circular in this regard yesterday.
According to the circular, those who have online news outlets will have to fill up a specific form for registration.
The registration form can be downloaded from www.pressinform.portal.gov.bd website.
The circular also said the registration process has been initiated in order to ensure some facilities for the online outlets as well as erasing ‘yellow journalism’ from the country.
All the online news portals have to submit the duly filled up registration form along with other necessary papers by December 15. After scrutinising all documents, the authorities concerned will issue registrations.
According to the information ministry, daily newspapers with online versions will also have to register afresh by December 15.
If anyone wants to communicate for consultation over the matter, they can make a call to these numbers: 9514065 or 01715255765. The protocol department of the information ministry will extend consultation over the matter in response to queries, if any.
