The Business Standard

The Business Standard is listed as Center on Crosswire: like most business and financial dailies it is read across the political spectrum, with an editorial line defined more by markets than by party politics.

Read The Business Standard beside another title from Bangladesh and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Business dailies rank stories by market consequence rather than political salience, so The Business Standard will often lead on something the general press buries — and describe the same policy in the language of cost and risk rather than fairness. Because The Business Standard is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Bangladesh title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
