PUBLISHER’S NOTE
New Age’s attention has been drawn to certain false, fabricated news items published in various newspapers in the last few days claiming that its management is under pressure from certain quarters to bring changes in its editorial personnel. We want to unequivocally state that neither is the New Age management under any such pressure from without – whether in the form of direction or suggestion – nor does it have any such compulsion from within. We fully stand by our editor, Nurul Kabir, and his team in their continuing efforts to implement an editorial policy that is in its entirety owned and endorsed by the management of the newspaper. We would further like to state that any attempts – be they external or internal – to pressure the management into changing its editorial stance or personnel will only find the management and the editorial team united in their efforts to maintain the integrity of the newspaper and its commitment to its readers.
