Nepal needs strict law and its implementation to control misinformation and sensationalisation

Journalism is considered one of the most crucial pillars of democracy as it connects the public to the political and social worlds. With the help of journalism, people are made aware of the happenings in and around the world. The public’s perception of journalism speaks volumes in itself. They have faith in journalism that it reports the truth of events in their totality, without any manipulation or corruption.

However, today, this might not be true as there are many examples of misinformation and media sensationalisation. The case is even the same in the history of media in Nepal also. To change the scenario, the country needs strict law and its effective implementation.
