Matiur Rahman said, Prothom Alo has succeeded in trying to be financially self-reliant from the beginning. Worked by following government financial rules and paying all taxes regularly. The political parties that come to power due to party neutrality have always created pressure on the first light. But due to the principles of good journalism and transparency, Prothom Alo is still able to do independent journalism.
Chairman of Political Science and Sociology Department of the University Professor SK Taufiq M Haque gave the opening speech in the seminar. The program was conducted by Rizwan-ul-Alam, teacher of the same department.
Vice-Chancellor Atiqul Islam said that a situation has developed in the country, where a person owns more money and opens a media. Whether there is profit or not, continue to mediate for the benefit of their other businesses and to increase their personal influence. In such a situation, Matiur Rahman made Prothom Alo newspaper stand on its own feet. Doing journalism for the people of the country.
