About OnlineKhabar English

News Portal CentristRead with context

OnlineKhabar is an independent private online news portal of Nepal, founded in 2006 by Dharma Raj Bhusal, who serves as its chairman. The outlet operates on a bootstrapped model, relying on internal resources and digital advertising, and has not publicly disclosed external funding or institutional backers. [2, 3, 4, 22, 25]

OnlineKhabar English is an established independent online news portal in Nepal, launched in 2016. The outlet advocates for free journalism and its editor-in-chief has stated a commitment to balanced reporting and questioning government actions. [2, 31] While one study indicated a very low rate of false news published by OnlineKhabar, some user discussions suggest perceived biases in its coverage, particularly regarding political figures. The broader media environment in Nepal is classified as 'partly-free,' with ongoing concerns about government attempts to restrict media freedom through legislation and reported incidents of harassment against journalists.
