About Kathmandu Post
The Kathmandu Post is published by Kantipur Publications, which is part of the Kantipur Media Group (KMG). KMG is owned by Kailash Sirohiya, who serves as its chairman, with his son Sambhav Sirohiya as managing director. Kantipur Publications also operates other media outlets, including the Nepali-language Kantipur daily, Nepal magazine, Saptahik weekly, Radio Kantipur, and Kantipur Television.
The Kathmandu Post describes itself as a progressive newspaper committed to fairness and equality of opportunity, and it has cultivated a reputation for reliability and veracity since its founding in 1993. The outlet has faced external pressures, including an attack on its offices in 2007 by a union linked to former Maoist rebels and a condemnation from the Chinese Embassy in 2020 over a republished article, which was seen as an attempt to stifle press freedom. More recently, the arrest of KMG chairman Kailash Sirohiya in 2024 was viewed by press freedom advocates as an effort to muzzle critical reporting. While a study on misleading news in Nepal found The Kathmandu Post did not publish any misleading news related to the source, the broader Nepalese media environment is classified as 'partly free,' with ongoing concerns about government pressure and potential restrictions on media freedom.
