Abstract
Nepal today enjoys a great diversity of free expression in its news media. Hundreds of newspapers, radio stations, television channels, and online media serve the people of this relatively small country. However, the increase and diversity of news media outlets in the country poses a challenge to maintain professional standards of fairness, lack of bias, and objectivity. The influences of commerce, politics, and greedy ownership on news media contents are often obvious, which can impede the general public's trust in news media institutions and working journalists. In this chapter, we compare Nepal's current broadcast news media policies and practices to the practices and standards of international media regulators, aiming to contribute to the formation of the best broadcast policies for Nepali media.
