Daily Sun enters 17th year

Daily Sun, one of the country’s leading national English-language newspapers, marks its 16th anniversary today and enters its 17th year of publication. The newspaper began publishing on 24 October 2010 as a new-generation English broadsheet, with a stated commitment to reflecting the truth impartially.

Over the past 16 years, it has built a readership at home and abroad through its print, online and multimedia platforms, with an emphasis on accuracy, credibility and depth. To mark the anniversary, Bashundhara Multi Trading Limited, the media outlet’s parent company, will host a day-long programme at its office in the capital’s Bashundhara Residential Area on Monday. Local and foreign dignitaries, invited guests and media professionals are due to attend.

Foreign missions based in Dhaka have also sent greetings to the newspaper on the occasion of its 16th anniversary.

Under the slogan “True and Impartial”, Daily Sun has gained a loyal readership among English-language newspaper audiences through objective reporting, varied content and distinctive presentation, including infographics, design and layout.

Since its launch, the newspaper has covered news from across Bangladesh. It has stated that it remains committed to the country’s democratic aspirations and to the interests of Bangladesh. To commemorate the anniversary, Daily Sun will publish a series of special supplements on a range of themes, beginning with one today.
