Female Journalists Want A Greater Space

Nepal's mass media history dates back to 1851 with the founding of 'Gorkhapatra,' a state-owned publication. The paper became a daily in 1961, marking a key milestone in the media evolution. However, the country's modern media era began after the 1951 democratic movement that ended the autocratic Rana regime. Women's involvement in journalism began in 1951 with the launch of the 'Mahila Masik' magazine, focusing on social issues and women's rights.
