The Nepal media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Nepal's front pages next to one another so you can see which stories lead where, how headlines are framed, and what one outlet foregrounds that another leaves out. All 6 titles tracked in Nepal sit near the editorial centre in our classification, which is common where the press is dominated by public broadcasters and agencies, or where no confident left/right rating was available. Comparison here is less about political line than about which stories each newsroom judges worth the top of the page.
By kind of outlet, the 6 titles break down as 4 daily newspapers (see all daily newspapers worldwide), 1 digital-native outlet (Khabarhub) and 1 news portal (Online Khabar). Crosswire lists no public-service broadcaster for Nepal, so the fixed point in a comparison has to be a wire service or the most widely read daily instead.
Nepal sits in South Asia, on Crosswire's Asia hub. By outlets tracked it is 3rd of the 8 countries in South Asia and 8th of the 33 across Asia, where the average is 5.1 outlets per country. Its neighbours in South Asia with hubs of their own are Bangladesh (6), Sri Lanka (6), India (5), Pakistan (5), Afghanistan (5), Bhutan (4) and Maldives (4).
