The Star is a weekly current affairs magazine published as a supplement to The Daily Star, Bangladesh's largest circulated English newspaper. The magazine is increasingly seen to promote liberal, progressive and secular values in the country, keeping line with the ideals of the Bangladesh Liberation War. However, The Star has gained a reputation for outspoken critiscism of successive Bangladeshi governments and major political parties. It is also seen to undertake fierce advocacy journalism on issues including the environment, education, human rights and religious extremism.
The Star has attracted a wide readership, particularly amongst the urban middle class and young generation in Bangladesh. Aasha Mehreen Amin serves as editor of the magazine while its popular staff writers include Elita Karim, Hana Shams Ahmed, Kajalie Shehreen Islam, Srabonti Narmeen Ali, Ershad Kamol and Syed Zain Al Mahmood. Regular contributors include Azizul Jalil, Ahmede Hussain, Farah Ghuznavi, Neeman Sobhan, Nabeel Atique and Syed Badrul Ahsan.
