<p><em>This study analyses N=146 editorials based on the content analysis method related to public health issues from Bangladesh’s most circulated English and Bengali daily to find the editorials’ key theme, focus, position, suggestion, and agenda. It selected the editorials published in the newspapers during March-June 2020, the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh. The result shows that the newspapers’ most important theme and focus are the same, but the other themes and focus differ. Also, each newspaper has a different position, suggestion, and agenda. It found that editorial policy, the newspaper’s ideological position, current important news, the context of society, the state system, pressure from the government and political parties, Bangladeshi socio-cultural issues, targeted readers’ expectations influence the editorial board to set their importance, focus, position, agenda, or topic of discussion for an editorial. The study’s outcomes address the current knowledge gap and contribute to the emerging discourses in the social sciences on crisis communication.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </em></p>
