Referring different barriers faced by the journalists for sending news or photos to their medias due to lack of internet service or digital instruments during the BNP regimes, Mustafa Jabbar said “at that time it was impossible for the journalists to send report or photo to their media due to absence of internet service and digital instruments.”
“But, now the journalists are getting wider opportunities for sending news or photos and telecasting live TV programs using the internet services and computers”, he added.
