Prakash Kumar Chatterjee: Since 2005, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has been giving Meena Media Awards to journalists in recognition of their work on child rights in Bangladesh. Journalists take this award as their biggest inspiration. The intensity is that, every year the interest among the country's journalists about this award is going on at the top.But it seems there is darkness under the lamp, controversy and rumors have started to come out with this award. Which has been going on since the previous year's prize distribution day._x000D_ _x000D_ Basically the matter came to notice on the day of the previous prize distribution ceremony. A reporter from Jago News was invited to the 17th edition of the Meena Media Awards where she received a nomination. The reporter was also optimistic because he had a great report. But at the eleventh hour, the show shows that someone has removed his report from the nomination list!_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ It went on and, UNICEF opened up when the reporter asked about the fact the matter. They claim that the work is mainly done by an agency called Mercari Asia Limited. The reporter confirmed to us that Mercari Asia Limited had sent an email and apologized to him for this incident. From this incident, for the first time, the case of award fraud by changing the result came to light. Where the name of an online newspaper editor also comes up as he was involved in the incident._x000D_ _x000D_ Keeping this incident in mind, we continue to move forward. Waiting for this award distribution. Let's first look at whether UNICEF holds Mercari Asia Limited accountable despite the huge injustice of the past. when they called for the report in a post, we can see that UNICEF has given responsibility to that controversial agency. The email address of Mercari Asia Limited was provided below the post calling for the report._x000D_ _x000D_ Next we had a look at the judges' marking. As we know, anonymous reports are sent to judges with a code. Then they send the markings separately, and all the marks are added together to produce the result of Mercari Asia Limited. This is where the real game begins. The organization sometimes exchanges results for money and sometimes for relationships. We tried to inquire about this from the judges in various ways, but they did not want to open their mouths. From what we feel, either the judges are complicit or they have guessed it and thought it 'best' to remain silent._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ This time we interacted with several news analysts on multiple award-winning reports.There, a'report' was claimed in one sentence, that it was PR news of an NGO, which should not be in the award nomination list itself. But the news that promoted an NGO won the award. Another award was also given to a senior journalist of an online magazine, which also deals with information and other issues. The report, which is very simple and roughly present with false information , is also awarded Apart from this, several nominations and awards have created controversy in this event. This time the controversy was much more than any other time , it goes on and on and Several fine-grained allegations have been raised by several journalists on condition of anonymity._x000D_ _x000D_ While investigating these complaints, it has been found that Mercari Asia Limited, The subsidiary of Daraz, an e-commerce company, is involved in almost all the hatch. The institution that takes such an arrangement as their own interest. They also provided preferential treatment to an organization for their and Daraj's interest,it has claimed by a source on condition of anonymity._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ An award controversy of 2014 also surfaced during this investigations . The report, which was awarded in the Under-18 category of service, was not written by him. Although it was disputed, the matter was hushed up without any further investigation. However, it was not possible to contact UNICEF or their much-discussed third party, Mercari Asia Limited, for these purposes.As of now it ended up like down to the sea or ended in smoke. This goes on so does controversy.
