From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ সংবাদ সংস্থা (বাসস)) is a National news agency of Bangladesh established in January 1, 1972 within days of birth of Bangladesh as an independent country. The Dhaka bureau of the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) was turned into the national news agency of the new country. Beginning with a small strength in the head office in Dhaka and a bureau in Chittagong, BSS now has bureaus in Rajshahi, Rangamati and Sylhet also. The national news agency has its correspondents in all the 64 administrative districts of the country.

History

News agencies had operated in Bangladesh since long before its emergence as an independent state. One of the oldest news agencies in the world, the Reuter's Telegram Company, known shortly as Reuters, had its branches in different parts of British India including Bengal. The Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) was the first news agency to start working in East Bengal and West Pakistan in September 1949. It had offices in Karachi, Sind, and two branches in East Bengal, one at Dhaka and the other at Chittagong. In the same year, a privately owned news agency, the United Press of Pakistan (UPP), was launched at Karachi and Dhaka. Another private news agency, initially named Pakistan Press Agency (PPA) and later renamed Pakistan Press International (PPI), started functioning in June 1956 with its headquarters at Karachi and a branch office at Dhaka. The Eastern News Agency (ENA), the first locally owned independent news agency in Dhaka was established in March 1970 as a private limited company. Its operations remained suspended during the 9-month long War of Liberation in 1971.
