Episode 22: Subhash Ghimire on Nepal's Media and Democracy
Update: 2020-10-22
Description
In this episode, we speak with Mr. Subhash Ghimire, the editor in chief of the daily newspaper Republica Nepal. The conversation covers the political dissatisfaction with the current Oli government in Nepal and their response to the pandemic. It looks at the freedom of the press in Nepal and why Nepal's private news media companies play a vital role in preserving Nepali democracy over and above what the political opposition and judiciary can provide. We also touch on social development in Nepal and why limited infrastructure means the distribution of aid and relief is more ineffective than we'd like to believe.
