Today Nepali journalists marked the
International Press Freedom Day.
They organised a rally in the morning
and in the afternoon, various organisations
organised different programmes.
FNJ published its report at the BICC.
But from today evening Nepal One
TV journalists are starting
another round of protest against
the management. They are fighting for
editorial freedom and other rights for last 14 days.
They have submitted memorandum to
communication minister Krishna Bahadur Mahara,
the Speaker Subash Nembang, even the Prime Minister
Girija Prasad Koirala. But nobody has the
solution to their problem.
Someone suggested them to even meet
Indian ambassador Mukherjee,
but the problem is still not solved.
It shows that Nepali journalists are
yet to be freed.
The government must make it clear
who the investors of Nepal One TV are.
It should be registered in Nepal, if it wants
to continue. It will otherwise also effect another
Indian newspaper that is published from Kathmandu.
The government must make the
foreign investment (FDI) in media transparent and legal,
otherwise the journalists will continue to suffer.
.................................................
It is high time that government
intervene in this matter and ask
the management of Nepal One
to either register in Nepal or quit.
Maoists silence in this matter is
quite surprising. It seems they do
not want to meddle with the
Indian establishment. But if any
Indian company is fraud or does
anything wrong according to the
Nepali law it should be punished,
and only the relationships between
India and Nepal can remain
warm and cordial.
Otherwise, such incidents will
only increase anti-Indian sentiments
in Nepal. Indian embassy in Kathmandu,
is equally responsible in increasing
anti-Indian sentiments in Nepal
by supporting such illegal opeartions
and business. The relationship can
be stronger, only if embassy stops
supporting such activities
of Indian companies in Nepal.
Support Nepali journalists fight for right,
editorial freedom and dignity.

There is no press freedom in Nepal. Our plitician like prefer foreign journalist to Nepali journalist. If a Nepali journalist ask question they do not answer and if a foreign even a Bihari journalist wants to meet they are readily available.
Thus, there is no press freedom in Nepal, actually Nepali politicians, businessmen and all those who is who is Nepali society is foreign media-savvy. In such a situation how can Nepali media be independent and free. Any Tom Dick and Harry (Teli, Chameli and Beli) has more information on Nepal and Nepali than a Nepali journalist.
Every organization is run by NGOs in Nepal. What is new?
but we are more free than...
any south asian counterparts....ask any of bangladeshi. pakistani or even an indian journo....are they enjoying freedom that we are......in nepal...yes, we have to do more.....but that takes time...to change things...old mind-set....
keep knocking....it will change....
