About OnlineKhabar English
OnlineKhabar English was founded in 2006 by Dharma Raj Bhusal, who serves as its Chairman and Managing Director. It operates as an independent digital news portal with a bootstrapped business model, relying on digital advertising for revenue. The organization expanded its media presence through the acquisition of Himalaya TV.
OnlineKhabar English positions itself as an independent news portal focused on real-time reporting across political, social, economic, and tourism sectors in Nepal. While the outlet states its support for press freedom and has published articles addressing bias and misinformation within the Nepali media landscape, there are no definitive assessments from international media bias watchdogs like Media Bias/Fact Check, Ad Fontes Media, or AllSides. User comments on platforms like Reddit suggest perceived bias in some of its reporting, though a consistent ideological leaning (left or right) is not clearly established. Nepal's press environment is classified as 'partly-free' by Freedom House, and Reporters Without Borders has noted fluctuating press freedom rankings and concerns about restrictions on journalists.
