Contemporary Perspectives on Migration in the Context of Bangladesh through the Media Lens

Abstract

This paper discusses the condition of migrant workers in Bangladesh along with the influence of media in their life. Besides, it depicts the reason, purpose, advantages and disadvantages of migration from Bangladesh to other parts of the world. Throughout the paper, several documents, news articles and a documentary Deshantori are analyzed in order to understand different perspectives of the migrants (laborers, students, doctors, teachers and some other profession people) of Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a highly populated country with a huge migration rate and this rate is increasing every year. These migrants have an important contribution in the national economy of Bangladesh. Behind this migration, media such as television, radio, internet, and also the mobile phone system play an inevitable role. Hence, considering migration as a significant perspective, in this paper I have depicted the notion of migration and the impact of media on it.
