The newly elected President Shahidul Islam Sujon stated:
“It is our moral duty to remain steadfast on the path of truth and to practice objective journalism. Journalism is not just a profession, it is a noble responsibility and a path of struggle.

The reputation of journalism is being tarnished due to political influence. To overcome these challenges, every member of the Editors’ Council must remain united.”
