Nayeemul Islam Khan (Bengali: নাঈমুল ইসলাম খান; born 1958) is a media personality in Bangladesh who has been active in Bangladeshi journalism since 1982. He is currently the editor of the Bengali-language daily Amader Orthoneeti. He is best known for his introduction of the modern approach of Bengali daily newspapers with the illustrated daily, Ajker Kagoj, launched in 1990. He was also the founding editor of the popular daily Amader Shomoy in 2003. He frequently appears on TV talk-shows since 2007.
Born on 21 January 1958, Nayeemul Islam Khan is from Comilla. He was the eldest among the 6 children of Nurul Islam Khan, a politician and lawyer, and Nurun Nahar Khan, their mother. He studied at the Comilla Zilla School and passed SSC examination, then went to Dhaka University and obtained his B.A and M.A in Mass Communication & Journalism. He worked with the Bangladesh Center for Development and Journalism and married Nasima Khan. In 2007 he joined the Stamford University, Dhaka as an adjunct faculty in the Department of Journalism and Media Studies.
Nayeemul Islam Khan's debut as an editor was for the short-lived monthly magazine Shomoy that was published for a few months in 1982. His next project was editing Khoborer Kagoj, which made its debut as a weekly in 1987. He is acclaimed as the father of modern approach to the Bengali-language newspaper for his work at Ajker Kahoj, in which he served as editor from its founding 1990 until 1992. In 2002, he re-joined the Ajker Kahoj as advisory editor. That newspaper later closed in 2007. In 1992, he also founded another Bengali-language daily Bhorer Kagoj, which was later edited by Matiur Rahman. Both Ajker Kahoj and Bhorer Kagoj were non-traditional in style and tone. He quit the Bhorer Kagoj in 1992 to run the non-governmental organisation Bangladesh Centre for Development, Journalism and Communication. In 2003, he made an abortive attempt to publish another daily under the title Notundhara. He also started his own daily, Amader Shomoy in 2007 but was removed as publisher by a court order in 2012. It was a four-page daily that cost TK 2.
