Software handles ingestion, deduplication and routing. What publishes is decided by editors, every time.
এলাকার খবর — the news from your own area.
National media covers the nation. Elakar Khobor covers the road that is closed, the clinic that has reopened, the local council decision that will raise your rent.
The platform aggregates and edits hyper-local reporting in Bangla, organised by area rather than by section. Editorial judgement stays with people; the software handles ingestion, deduplication and distribution so a small newsroom can cover a large number of localities.
It runs on the group's own infrastructure, which is what makes the economics work at this scale.
