Bangladesh has a vibrant print and digital media landscape with hundreds of newspapers, predominantly in '''Bengali''' (Bangla), alongside several prominent English-language dailies. As of 2026, there are over 170 registered Bengali daily newspapers (per government and district reports), but only a few dozen have significant national circulation and readership. The sector includes national dailies, regional papers, and online-focused portals.

Most newspapers are published from Dhaka, with some regional editions. Circulation figures vary by source and year; older data (e.g., 2021) shows Bangladesh Pratidin leading, but online traffic and popularity have shifted emphasis to digital platforms like Prothom Alo and Jugantor.
