About OnlineKhabar English

News Portal Read with context

OnlineKhabar English was launched in 2016 by Onlinekhabar Nepal Pvt Ltd, an extension of the Nepali news portal founded in 2006 by Dharma Raj Bhusal. Dharma Raj Bhusal is the founder and CEO of OnlineKhabar and also serves as the Chairman of Himalaya Television HD, indicating a broader media presence.

OnlineKhabar English aims to provide updates on political, social, and economic issues, prioritizing the promotion of Nepal's tourism and way of life. The editor-in-chief has stated a commitment to balanced journalism and addressing social justice, discrimination, lawlessness, and injustice. However, without assessments from established media bias organizations, and with some user comments suggesting potential one-sided reporting in specific instances, a definitive editorial lean is not established. The broader media environment in Nepal is classified as 'partly-free' by Freedom House, and Reporters Without Borders notes a 'difficult' situation for journalists, with concerns over vague laws that could restrict press freedom.

Reading context

Media systems vary by law, ownership, and editorial custom. We preserve each outlet's framing and add context so readers can compare coverage without treating one country as the default.
