Bangla Timeline is Bangladesh's people-first Bangla news portal — citizen journalism, real-time multimedia reporting, and unfiltered stories for 170 million Bangladeshis and the 13-million-strong diaspora.
Bangladesh has dozens of newspapers and television channels. None of them are written by the people they claim to represent.
Walk into any Bangla newsroom in Dhaka and you will find the same pattern: an editor at a desk, deciding what gets published from a small pool of staff reporters. Decisions are filtered through political alignment, corporate sponsorship, and decades of editorial habit.
Meanwhile 170 million Bangladeshis live their lives. A garment worker in Gazipur has a story. A taxi driver in Riyadh has a story. A student in Sylhet has footage from a flood that mainstream television will never show. Their voices reach no one.
And for the 13 million Bangladeshis living abroad — the probashi community in Qatar, KSA, UAE, Italy, Malaysia, the UK — the gap is even wider. Their lives are simply not covered. Embassy queues, salary disputes, community festivals, deaths in foreign hospitals — invisible.
This is the gap Bangla Timeline was built to close.
Three or four senior editors decide what 170 million Bangladeshis read every day. Stories outside their worldview never appear.
13 million Bangladeshis abroad — entire embassies of life — get less coverage in a month than Dhaka traffic gets in a day.
Most Bangla news sites still feel like 2008 — heavy desktop layouts, no video, no mobile-first design, no user voice.
Readers can comment. They cannot publish. The platforms are designed to broadcast at people, not from them.
Bangla Timeline is the first Bangla news portal where readers are also reporters. Citizen-first by design. Multimedia by default. Free by principle.
Bangla mainstream media has decided for too long what our people are allowed to see. Bangla Timeline is built on a different idea — the people's voice is the news. If something matters to a Bangladeshi anywhere on the planet, it matters to us.
From the streets of Dhaka to the construction sites of Doha — Bangla Timeline covers the beats other portals quietly skip.
Parliament, elections, judiciary, public-sector decisions — covered with citizen verification and primary-source documents.
Cricket, football, kabaddi — Bangladesh sport at every level, from the BPL final to a school tournament in Khulna.
Startup announcements, freelance income trends, mobile financial services, IT export numbers — the digital economy made readable.
A dedicated newsdesk for Bangladeshis abroad — visa news, embassy updates, salary disputes, festival coverage from 19 countries.
Pohela Boishakh, Ekushey, music, film, literature — Bengali cultural life told in long-form features and short video.
Stories submitted by readers — verified, edited, and published. The newsroom you can actually write into.
Most Bangla news sites still publish like print newspapers with a website attached. Bangla Timeline was built for the way people actually read news in 2026 — on a phone, with one thumb, in three formats.
Stories go live within minutes of verification. Live blogs for fast-moving events — elections, floods, cricket finals.
Vertical, sub-90-second video for every major story. Optimized for Reels and Shorts. Subtitled for the diaspora.
Loads under 1.4s on 3G. 70% of our readers are on phones — the site is engineered for them, not for a Dhaka editor's desktop.
Submit photo, video or text from the app. Editorial verifies. Verified stories get full credit and amplification.
