Prothom Alo Editor Matiur Rahman yesterday said significant reforms are needed in the state administration.

"And in order to be successful in state affairs, there needs to be an open democratic environment and an environment of free expression throughout the society," he added.

Matiur made the remarks as a guest speaker at an award ceremony held in honour of the late Professor Sitara Parveen of the Department of Mass Communication and Journalism (MCJ) at Dhaka University.

The event took place at the Professor Muzaffar Ahmed Chowdhury Auditorium in the Faculty of Social Sciences.

He said there should be more open discussions on all important state issues.

"We have to do journalism with courage from an independent and non-partisan position," Matiur also said.

At the programme, DU VC Prof Niaz Ahmed Khan paid glowing tribute to the memory of Prof Dr Sitara Parvin.

A total of 10 meritorious students of the Department of Mass Communication and Journalism of DU were recognised with the Prof Sitara Parvin Award for their outstanding results in BSS (Hons) final examination of 2022.

Prof Sitara Parvin, daughter of former President Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed and wife of retired MCJ Prof Ahaduzzaman Mohammad Ali, died in a tragic road accident on June 23, 2005 in the US.
