Nepal: debate about e-journalism
The South Asian Media Network reports that, in Nepal, "The newly-endorsed Information Technology Ordinance 2004 has failed to address the issue of cyber journalism, said participants speaking at an interaction on IT ordinance and cyber journalism, organised jointly by Nepal Japan dot com and the Cyber Journalist Association of Nepal. It is sad that the newly-endorsed IT ordinance has failed to address e-journalism which is gaining popularity everyday said Kumar Basnet, chief editor of Nepal Japan dot com. “There are more than two dozens of web magazine published from Nepal and around one dozen from abroad. However, with no clear policy they are finding it difficult to compete with the print media,” Basnet said... Kartikya Ghimire, chief editor of ketaketi.org presented a working paper on the IT ordinance, e-journalism access and challenges. The government should bring web magazines within the legal boundaries and promote e- journalism, Ghimire said.
