Informations on current events in Nepal are best
available through the website of
NepalNews.Com. On the access page, headlines are updated several
times a day. Besides, this is the entrance website to numerous dailies,
weeklies and monthlies from Nepal. Another entrance site to newspapers and
journals is offered by Nepal
Research.
Following some remarks on the newspapers offered
through these websites (especially for beginners): Please inform yourself
about the current events through the Kathmandu
Post, Nepals leading English language daily or through the government
owned
Rising Nepal.
Among the other Nepali newspapers offered in the
internet, Spotlight
(an illustrated and analytical weekly) and The
Telegraph (a good weekly with foreign orientation) must be mentioned.
Kantipur
is the best daily in Nepali language (required font can be downloaded).
You should also have a look at The
People's Review, a weekly with critical and analytical articles. The
same is true for The
Nepali Times (sometimes in high standard English). Those interested in
economic issues should read the monthly
Business Age.
Who is looking for information on special topics
should have a look at the numerous subsites of Nepal Research
where you find a regularly updated evaluation of Nepals' English language
press (partly also of Nepali papers). Newslook
Magazine offers a similar Nepal related evaluation
of the world press.
Those interested in radio information, may listen to
the English news of Radio Nepal
(also available in Nepali language). The required RealPlayer
can be downloaded free of charge.
