The first issues of the Dhaka Courier appeared in May 1984. Since then it has become the highest circulated newsweekly of the country commanding a readership of over 100,000. Distributed to over 50 countries, it is often quoted at home and abroad for its sharp focus on political and human rights issues. Because of its independent editorial and reporting policy, Dhaka Courier has been able to attract as contributors some of the most well-known names in South Asian journalism.

The Dhaka Courier has set for itself a high standard of objectivity and accuracy. Its ever growing popularity at home and abroad provides impetus for it to strive for excellence in journalism. No wonder, more and more advertisers find it worthwhile to speak of their products and services through this journal.
