established for the development of ICT
movement of our country and to
stimulate and facilitate the growth structure
of this sector. BIJF tries to emphasis on three sectors.
Firstly, to establish the ICT Journalist Unity, secondly, to improvise
journalist knowledge and professional duties with utmost delinquency and
thirdly to organize ICT related seminars, working paper on National and
as well as international issue. So far BIJF have successfully organized
several skill development schemes for ICT journalists and also arranged
different ICT related national seminars. Among them”Media role on
Information Society: perspective Bangladesh” is the most successful one.
It has been argued that ICT has itself pioneered into Bangladesh
and the role of Media is very much negligible in this case. But on many
dimensions, government policies as well as industry activities are much
prejudiced by the Media. Media has a profound impact on building IT
awareness, IT industry and IT culture in our Country. The role of media
has pioneered in building ICT infrastructure in Bangladesh. In future, BIJF will try to
establish the National ICT databank and
will conduct several studies on Local
and Global aspects of ICT developments.
BIJF will also analyze different government initiatives
and Industry performance regarding ICT and will
recommend different policies for the welfare
of this sector. BIJF will also try to
make their contribution on several
Global issues such as Digital Divide,
Information Society, Knowledge based
Economy, etc to build a real ICT awarded
community for the whole World.
