In this matter may i share my experience. In Bangladeshi media first not
published wiki news at all. But i personally talk with all media
(newspaper, IT portal) IT page in-charge (who mainly work IT section). In
this matter i use my link (I am also IT journalist). When i say about
Wikipedia event, activities they show interested to published the news. Now
all Bangladeshi media published Wiki news regularly. In our all event,
activities i write daily news & send all media. Also some of newspaper/IT
magazine published big article about Bangla Wikipedia.
So i think need to contact IT page in-charge. if try to able to talk with
IT page in-charge they may help to published the Bangla Wikipedia news.
Also try to make news & send all media IT people.
