Abstract:
Sports in Bangladesh is a popular form of entertainment as well as a significant part of
Bangladeshi culture from very long time. Cricket and Football are most popular sports in
Bangladesh than other sports. But in recent time that more than a decade cricket takes the lead
in terms of popularity. And we know that, Media plays an essential role in spreading
consciousness among the masses, the acceptance or the reach of a particular sport depends on
the media coverage being provided to it. Over the years, the Bangladeshi newspaper has played
an active role in encouraging the sports of cricket and its increasing popularity. In our simple
eyes we can say that newspaper media always try to give large treatment for cricket more than
football. The study is design to know the difference of news and photo treatment between our
national cricket and national football in Bangladeshi daily newspapers. Three newspapers are
selected for the study. After the data collection for the period of 30 days on all three
newspapers, the results clearly show that Cricket privileged more than Football sometimes
doubles in many sides. But every newspaper has some responsibility to bring the fall-back
sports in front and made interest on the mass people as they know about that particular sports
as well as our cricket.
