Probashir Diganta is a Bangla online newspaper for Bangladeshis living and working abroad, publishing since 2014.

The Challenge
A news portal for a global audience has to publish constantly and still be easy to scan. Readers want the latest headlines, news from where they live, and everyday information such as remittance exchange rates.
The site also had to support more than one language and load well on mobile connections abroad.
Our Approach
Regional sections for a global readership
Navigation covers Bangladesh, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America and international news, plus sports, entertainment, lifestyle and health, so readers can follow the news where they live.
Useful tools beside the news
Taka exchange rates, prayer times, gold prices, jobs for expatriates, Yellow Pages, polls and a photo gallery make the portal a daily companion, not only a news feed.
A dense front page that stays readable
A dated header with the last-updated time, a breaking-news ticker and clearly grouped story blocks keep a busy home page easy to scan.
Bangla and English
A language switcher, plus reader login and registration, support a returning audience.
