Mission and Values

Nepal News is dedicated to independent, fearless, and deeply reported journalism that goes beyond the headlines. In the tradition of the world’s leading long-form and investigative outlets, we strive to uncover hidden truths, explain complex realities, and give voice to perspectives that matter but are often overlooked. Our mission is not only to inform but also to help readers understand — placing Nepal in conversation with the world and the world in conversation with Nepal. From rigorous investigations to thoughtful long reads, our journalism aims to clarify the forces shaping society and empower people to engage with them critically.

Our values are anchored in truth, integrity, independence, and depth. We believe facts must be uncompromising, reporting must be transparent, and stories must carry both urgency and insight. Curiosity drives us to ask difficult questions, and creativity allows us to present them in ways that resonate with diverse audiences. Whether through in-depth investigations, magazine-style narratives, or innovative digital storytelling, Nepal News is committed to journalism that stands apart — reporting with clarity, context, and conviction. In doing so, we seek to strengthen public trust, nurture democratic dialogue, and inspire a more informed and engaged society.

Our Mission

The mission of Nepal News is to deliver clear, accurate, and independent journalism that strengthens understanding and empowers people to make informed choices.

We exist to inform without distortion, report without bias, and explain with context. Our role is not to unsettle but to clarify, not to persuade but to enlighten.

As Nepal’s first digital news portal, we bring a Nepali perspective on global events and a global lens on Nepal’s challenges and opportunities, helping our audiences see beyond headlines and into the deeper causes and consequences of issues.

Our Values

Truth Above All: Facts come first. Every story is verified, tested, and told with clarity. We correct errors quickly because accuracy is non-negotiable. Independence of Spirit: Our journalism stands free from political, commercial, or personal influence. We follow stories wherever the evidence leads.

• Integrity of Work: Public trust is our greatest strength. We uphold transparency, fairness, and honesty in every decision we make.
• Depth and Context: We go beyond surface headlines to explore root causes, consequences, and overlooked perspectives.
• Respect for People: We report with dignity, fairness, and inclusivity. Our coverage reflects the diversity of Nepal’s society and treats every subject with humanity.
• Innovation with Purpose: We embrace new tools, formats, and technologies not for novelty but to tell stories more powerfully and connect audiences more meaningfully.
• Collaboration Across Disciplines: Great journalism comes from teamwork — between reporters, editors, designers, analysts, technologists, and communicators working as one.
• Accountability to Readers: We hold others to account — and ourselves as well. We welcome criticism, admit mistakes, and are transparent about how we work.

Our Commitments

At Nepal News, we pledge to:

• Deliver journalism that is accurate, fair, and free of bias.
• Provide insight, depth, and explanation that help readers see the full picture.

Evolving Principles

This Mission and Values statement is a living guide. Journalism changes, and so must we. Our standards will adapt with time, but our foundation remains constant: to seek truth, act with integrity, and serve our readers with independence and clarity.
