What Is Credible Is Definitely Reliable
Even a cursory scan of Nepal’s annals of media industry is sufficient to understand how the country’s oldest newspaper, Gorakhapatra, has been able to dominate the national media landscape for well over a century. It indeed is a rare phenomenon, at least in the South Asian context, to see a newspaper launched as a weekly in 1901 continues to be one of the major news outlets in the present era—often dubbed as the digital age.

Being Holed Up For 32 Hours In Gorkhapatra Office
The journey of 28 years in the Gorkhapatra Corporation is mixed with excitement, turbulence, and challenges. There were days when Gorkhapatra used to be a synonym for a newspaper in Nepal. Many people used to call The Rising Nepal as the Gorkhapatra in English (Angreji ko Gorkhapatra).
Appeal And Resilience Of Gorkhapatra
As Gorkhapatra marks its 123rd anniversary today, it is natural for us to ponder over its history as well as contribution in the evolution of Nepali journalism. Gorkhapatra was the brainchild of reformist Rana prime minister Dev Shumsher. It was born when Nepali society was in the dark ages. Nepalis were enduring the hereditary rule of the Rana oligarchy. Right to speak or open a political organisation was beyond their imagination. The people were treated as raiti (subjects), not citizens. They had hardly heard of modern concepts such as democracy, free speech and press freedom. So, the birth of Gorkhapatra was in itself a revolutionary step. It was like a firefly taking wing through the pitch-dark. It marks the germination of a new consciousness, heralding an era of hope and emancipation for Nepalis.

That constitutes a reliable road to reassuring the audience and, with it, earning their loyalty to an information outlet.

Adapting To Changes To Stay Relevant
Gorkhapatra turns 123 on Sunday and the Gorkhapatra Corporation turns 61. We have a strong legacy and are still one of the most credible media organisations in the country. However, we must now start working on our relevance because, in mass media, any news is only as good as the number of people who read it.
