# Bangladesh

## BACKGROUND

In **Bangladesh**, where rapid economic progress toward lower-middle-income status has not been matched by growth in public-interest media, *PRIMED* is working with the sector overall to help improve ethical standards and support local coalitions to advocate for media freedom. 

*PRIMED* is supporting media partners to develop stronger audience insights and more professional and relevant content, more efficient production, and broader offerings across multiple, revenue-generating platforms. 

This approach makes the case for media in the public interest as key to economic viability, contributing to a future in which media outlets may be financially independent and less prone to co-option.

## [Media Viability Workshop (Feb. 2022)](https://projects-primed.gfmd.info/policy-learning/workshops/media-viability-workshop-feb.-2022#bangladesh-viability-through-digital-transformation)

The Media Viability Workshop presented how the Gramer Kagoj transitioned their business model into digital as a response to the needs raised by the COVID-19 Pandemic. The panel included an introduction to the media landscape in Bangladesh, as well as the newspaper as a whole.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://projects-primed.gfmd.info/policy-learning/updates/bangladesh.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
