The Kathmandu Post’s next chapter

Democracy had just been reinstated and Nepal was opening up, culturally, economically and politically. Since then, together with its sister paper Kantipur, the Post has consistently stood for the values that exemplify coque samsung galaxy a6 amazon that hard won democratic ideal representation and rights for all the people, freedom of expression and a free press, and a distinct distaste for autocracy. For all these years, the coque samsung d’origine s8 Post has asked for accountability and transparency, not just from those in government but from everyone with power and influence.

But for those coque samsung s6 sexe of us in the business of holding people and institutions to account, be it in government or business, now is an extraordinarily rich time to be coque iphone xr jesus in journalism. Nepal, for the first time in many of our memories, has leapt into a new era after spending coque samsung s3 3d decades in political torpor. coque samsung galaxy s6 clochette There have always been stories waiting coque samsung galaxy a3 216 to be written. Stories as abundant as the dreams promised coque samsung s6 cheval by those in power in coque iphone xr armor Kathmandu. Stories as vast as the hopes of millions of Nepalis in the isolated hills and plains who have been waiting to be noticed and heard by Kathmandu.

At the Post, throughout the past year, we have made gradual attempts toward telling these stories not just in whose stories get told but who is telling the coque samsung galaxy s3 amazone story. We’ve diversified our newsroom, in the belief that the storytellers matter as much as the stories they tell. In line with our new editorial standards, we’ve attempted to reflect in our journalism our belief that our duty is to the truth, to the community and to our readers coque samsung s8 seigneur des anneaux not to private business interests, our owners, or our advertisers.

Today, we’re taking that commitment forward with a promise to our readers: at a time when coque samsung galaxy grand plus olympique lyonnais trust in the news media continues to decline, at home and abroad, we will practice our journalism with dignity, with earnestness, and honesty. We will write and report without fear or favour.

Since Adolph S Ochs, the former New York Times publisher, coque samsung s8 plus auchan used the phrase in his declaration of principles in 1896, the term ‘without fear or favour’ coque samsung j7 jordan has become a guiding motto for journalists coque iphone xr invisible around the wish coque samsung a8 world, despite the many challenges to fulfilling it. Today, we’re making it ours.

In printing these words below the masthead of the Post, we announce the next chapter of The Kathmandu Post. Our expos on the decades long exploitation of young girls at a prominent school in Kathmandu, the investigations into allegations of sexual coque samsung j5 mobilis harassment against a prominent lecturer at the nation’s oldest university, the delay in investigating the death of a Madhesi activist in police custody, and our deep dive into the monopoly coque samsung a70 miroir by big coque iphone xr triangle beer companies are all attempts to write coque samsung galaxy coque iphone xr amazon s6 edge fantaisie about power and influence without fear or favour unblemished coque iphone xr fun and unvarnished. These are the kinds of stories our journalists coque samsung a6 foot will strive to report.

The press, like any profession, is flawed. But when we make mistakes, we will own up to them, and apologise, with a commitment to do better. To make that commitment even more transparent, we have dedicated a section of the newspaper and our website to clearly communicate the stories that have been corrected or updated. The coque samsung galaxy core prime c discout press, in any democracy, is necessary. So when we make mistakes, we implore you to engage with us, and when we get something wrong, hold us to account. We will hold those with power and influence to account, but as our readers, we are accountable to you.

Telling the whole truth takes an effort, but in today’s world, one in which readers are ultimately deciding what they read and where they read it, not making an effort to tell the whole truth is not an alternative. In fact, as journalists, it is going to be our ultimate test, one that will determine whether we rise or fall…
