Abstract

The goal of the study was to learn more about how residential students at a public university in Bangladesh consume news and watch it. The research was quantitative in character and was conducted using a survey approach that covered five university residence halls. Students from diverse schools and disciplines were included in the study's population. This study relied on a convenient sampling strategy. For this study, the students were given 225 questionnaires, of which 200 were returned. Half of the respondents prefer to read Bengali newspapers, according to the poll (Daily Prothom Alo). They chose to read the newspaper for information on world politics. They also acknowledged the importance of news reading and viewing in their daily lives. More than half of those polled share news with their friends and family or make negative comments about it while reading or viewing it. They recognize the benefits of reading and viewing the news in terms of expanding their knowledge, keeping up with the times, and changing their minds.
