What Daily Chattagram Pratidin does

The Daily Chattogram Pratidin (চট্টগ্রাম প্রতিদিন) is a privately held Bengali-language daily newspaper headquartered at Sanmar Spring Garden, 64 Jamal Khan Road, Chattogram, Bangladesh, serving the Chattogram division. Founded in 2012 with a 16-person editorial and commercial team, the publication operates a dual-channel distribution model comprising a print edition distributed across the Chattogram region and a digital portfolio anchored by ctgpratidin.com, supplemented by a YouTube multimedia channel (@DailyCtgPratidin), a Facebook page (ctgpratidinbd), and Google News indexing.

The publication's editorial scope spans local Chattogram and greater Chattogram news (including Cox's Bazar and the Chittagong Hill Tracts), national Bangladeshi politics and business, international events, sports, culture, and entertainment. It is differentiated by an investigative journalism posture covering corruption, political malpractices, money laundering, and human rights violations, which has produced industry recognition including the TIB Investigative Journalism Award (2021) and the Migration Media Award (2019), as well as operational risk in the form of three portal blocks by the Ministry of Information and eight lawsuits against Editor Hossain Thoufique Ifthekher over the past three years.

The business model is advertising-based across both print and digital channels. Revenue is generated through print edition advertisements and third-party digital advertising banners on ctgpratidin.com; no subscription, paywall, or event revenue streams are disclosed. The customer base is split between a primary mass-market audience of Bengali readers in Chattogram city and surrounding districts, and a secondary segment of Chattogram expatriates in 10 countries. No pricing, advertising rate card, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed, and the company has no identified parent, subsidiaries, or institutional investors.
