Information and Broadcasting Minister Zahir Uddin Swapon has said that no news based on assumptions should be published without proper fact-checking.

Speaking at a discussion with journalists at Pabna Press Club on Friday night (April 3), he highlighted the growing spread of misleading information on social media, YouTube, and other digital platforms.

“To ensure accurate reporting, all news must undergo fact-checking before publication. Publishing assumption-based reports is unacceptable,” he said.

The minister also announced plans to establish a press club in every district to strengthen journalist solidarity.

Earlier, he inaugurated the eight-day “Pabna Book Fair” at BIR Muktijoddha Rafiqul Islam Bakul Freedom Square.
