The Coverage of Development Issues in Nepalese Media

Millennium Development Issues in Print Media

Beschreibung

This book has explored how Nepalese media have portrayed the 'development news' to enhance development efforts of the state. The study examines the representation of the Development Issues raised by Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Nepalese National broadsheet dailies. This book has drawn perspectives from Human Development Approach of news production and has analyzed the current development news published on three major national dailies. There is little coverage of Development issues within the newspapers in which there are very few cases of including underrepresented people's voices in the text and in the editorial column. This has resulted ineffective communication to empower general people and thus it requires a separate policy of covering development news by the state and media house as well.
