Abstract

Credibility in TV news is a dynamic question in developing countries like Bangladesh where massive media boom occurred after post millennium period. Political influence and pressure from the government, private TV channels owner's act on the purity of the news, self censorship by journalists due to stress from upper hierarchy are just some of the factors that affects viewer's perception. In this paper the present problems underlying these facts in Bangladesh are analyzed and compared with the similar system with Norwegian TV media. A combinatorial model is then proposed to find out the possible reasons that can be treated as essential ones to inform the stakeholders in the problem domain, which can lead towards probable solutions.
