CCN is an independent news agency and a multi-disciplinary research organization.
The key objectives are to gather and disseminate information about pressing socio-political and economic issues of today. CCN aims at introducing a new trend in journalism. CCN will probe into, analyze and interpret events that have taken place or can take place. It will shun partisan reporting or sensationalism. Accuracy and objectivity are the main goals.
Associated with it is a group of talented, highly motivated and experienced professionals who are witnesses to, and participants in, many multi-dimensional developments that have over the decades molded the media industry in Bangladesh. It is difficult to match CCN in terms of human resources, both for the print and the electronic media.
A major thrust has been on supplementing the efforts of newspapers and magazines in analyzing the national and international issues as well as portraying the life of the people.
