As an expanding
news agency, BSS has multi-dimensional plans of development,
starting from increasing client network to opening bureaus
locally and internationally. BSS is planning to open bureaus
in Khulna, Barisal and Rangpur very shortly in addition
to existing ones in chittagong, Rajshahi and Sylhet.
It plans to
strengthen Rural News Network through establishing fax / e-mail
connection between 64 districts of Bangladesh and BSS office
at Dhaka. The national news agency will link up with the newspapers
and magazines being brought out by expatriate Bangladeshi,
especially with those living in northeast America and UK.
The agency
has a human rights desk which has independent financial and
manpower support with the assistance of Danish embassy in
Bangladesh. The desk dedicates itself to disseminating news
items on human rights and gender issues.
BSS is introducing
Financial Information Service shortly. The management is working
to organize a photo service for its clients. The service is
expected to be launched within a few months.
To gather news
independently from different important places of the globe
BSS has also plans to set up bureaus in London, New York,
Washington, Kualalampur and Islamabad. It has already a bureau
in New Delhi.
