The vibrancy of Nepali media

A systemic approach is required to bounce back, including policy reforms and partnerships with new media platforms.

A recent study report on the Nepali media landscape by the International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX), an American nonprofit, describes our media as “somewhat vibrant”. I haven’t been able to locate their full report on their site yet, but I find the phrasing for the overall score rather intriguing—Nepali media is vibrant but not as vibrant. Nepal scored 23 out of 40 overall for the four measures: Information quality, channels, consumption and engagement, and transformative action.
