“What a newspaper needs in its news, in its headlines, and
on its editorial page is terseness, humor, descriptive power, satire,
originality, good literary style, clever condensation, and
accuracy, accuracy, accuracy!” - Joseph Pulitzer
Journalism can never be silent: That is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air.
Today, we look back at a year of growth of The Daily Messenger and look forward to a year of limitless possibilities. Birthdays give us the opportunities to stop and appreciate all the beautiful things we have been blessed with. Birthdays teach us how to live life well.

The Daily Messenger is an English language daily newspaper being published in Dhaka. Its news items are the pinnacle, its editorials, opinion and Op-ed pages among the finest and many phrases it coin are still in wide usage. There is just no escaping its dress up. Its influence on the English language has stood the test of time thus far, with little sign of yielding.
TDM is guaranteed to prompt some fond memories and a strong sense of nostalgia as the recipient like me enjoys a trip down memory lane.
Some of the most popular birthday dates for newspapers are milestone occasions, where original newspapers from the recipient’s birthday or the birth year newspaper are amongst the most sought-after gifts. The most desirable date of birth newspapers tends to be for the birthday occasions and in turn, make incredibly memorable milestone gift for both the readers and the writers.
Good wishes for your birthday, The Daily Messenger. Then the day follows with more traditions, such as, the Happy Birthday song and cake cutting and so many things.
Celebrations are like a window into the heart of a culture. Celebrations show what people value, how they relate to each other, and how they express themselves. Learning how to say “Happy Birthday” means more than learning to pronounce a few key phrases. It means digging deeper into how to celebrate a newspaper’s birthday.
One wish, many forms to wish how formal a greeting is desired, and the mood of the well-wishers. Turning one year for TDM, however, is a very big deal in Bangladesh. Celebrations for milestone birthdays go above and beyond the ordinary and big parties, more expensive presents, or extravagant vacations are some popular ways to mark the occasion. Have the honour always!
The Daily Messenger’s birthday is the best example for us. Happy Birthday to you all at TDM! The gifts, the cake, the celebration… The melody of "Happy Birthday to You" comes from the song "Good Morning to All", which has traditionally been attributed to American sisters Patty.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear, TDM
Happy birthday to you.

The quote, "History is written by the victors" is often attributed to Winston Churchill. The thought process behind this quote, however, leaves out an important set of storytellers: the press. Newspapers offer a glimpse at the past and answer the "who, what, when, where, and why" of historic events that still have influence today. As pieces of literature and even art, they can make us feel hope, disgust, empowerment, or disillusionment about aspects of culture and history. Some newspaper front pages are truly evocative and may be remembered as part of the significant historical events they have reported or report. TDM possesses such attributes.
A great front page tells a story all on its own. TDM always does it. While broadcast reporters initially break the news of man's first steps on the moon, hundreds of newspapers covered the triumph, featuring front page covers that will go down in history. And TDM can be listed under this category. In general, they clearly reflect the world's fascination with this extraordinary accomplishment. Many people saved these front pages as mementos of the occasion…

The story of English—from its start in a jumble of West Germanic dialects to its role today as a global language—is both fascinating and complex. English has long ridden on the crest of globalisation and technology, dominating the world no other language ever has. Some linguists even say that it may never be dethroned as the king of languages. It’s not just widely spoken by roughly 1.5 billion people, but it’s also the international language of many industries.
Today, English has become the leading language in business, science, literature, politics, diplomacy and many more areas and industries. It is also considered as the world’s lingua franca as over 55 countries speak it as a second language. And The Daily Messenger is playing a leading role in English journalism in Bangladesh. Arthur Miller has correctly spelt-out, “A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself.”
A very Happy Birthday to our amazingly talented, super smart, gracious, classy journalists, writers, columnists of The Daily Messenger, filled with a joyful occasion for special festivities to mark some happy event today.
On a clear today, there is a 360-degree panorama of the entire TDM office. TDM’s good looks, charm and self-deprecating sense of mood, coupled with the newspaper’s natural beauty and style generate an impression of modern royalty that is a winning combination of star quality and an approachable, common touch.
The Daily Messenger is celebrating their one-year anniversary today. We hope we shall enjoy reliving this moment, and seeing some behind the scenes photos from this special day.
Thank you, TDM, for all of the love and support from so many of you for me and us who love to read this esteemed newspaper and write for it. Each of you will make this day even more meaningful.
A new day, new reasons, new innings, new slogans, and parties! Keep rocking. Life is full of experiences, and a birthday is one of the greatest experiences in the journey of life. I have a message for you. It’s a day of celebration, a day to sing, dance and give thanks; it’s your birthday, and it’s a great day.
We repeat today, we look back at a-year of growth of The Daily Messenger and look forward to a new year of limitless possibilities.
A Birthday is a new beginning - a birthday is the first day of another lovely year, a year of new tomorrows that is shining, bright and clear, a year of possibilities as endless as the sky, and a chance to meet the challenges in everything we try. Keep growing to keep shining. You captivate the whole universe of Bangladesh and even the whole world. Words fail to express our love and blessings for you. Have a great birthday! Again, our good wishes for The Daily Messenger’s birthday. To finish-off today, we wish to quote the words of William Shakespeare, “With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.”
The writer is a freedom fighter who writes on politics and international affairs.
