The Centrist seeks to oppose rigid ideological principles by advocating pragmatic approaches that find equilibrium between right-wing and left-wing stances. Our priority lies in implementing practical solutions which protect public interests and safeguard human rights while supporting democratic values instead of following strict ideological purity.


Founding principle of The Centrist derives from the spirit of July Uprising of 2024 in Bangladesh that provided us an opportunity to transform our political, social and economic systems. This is also an excellent chance to redefine a new role for media and journalism in the public domain. Objective journalism tends to be elusive within traditional corporate-owned media systems. The time has come to reconceptualize independent journalism as a collaborative enterprise between readers and journalists. The Centrist introduces a new journalism framework that combines evidence-based methods with reader support to deliver quality journalism.


The Centrist’s fundamental principles include pragmatism, pluralism and rights for all along with economic balance and social moderation; which we strive to integrate into all our activities. We imagine a community which embraces tolerance and inclusivity by adhering to these principles. We are focused in developing practical solutions for complex problems that address human needs before ideological considerations. We are committed to elevating diverse perspectives to the forefront so all differing viewpoints receive celebration rather than mere tolerance. Our vision centers on establishing a sustainable economy that drives growth across every societal group.


Every editorial decision, analysis, and solution we propose will be guided by our principles. As our resources grow, we also aim to innovate the way stories are told by experimenting with and refining the integral elements of narrative structure in new media. In the beginning, The Centrist will observe and analyze events and facts related to public interest, presenting our views for our readers. Since our journey begins with very limited resources, we kindly request our readers to support us so that we can spread our wings and achieve our goals together.
