About us Your Right to Right Information... Kantipur Publications Pvt. Ltd. Nepal’s Pioneer Private Media Kantipur Publications has a deep-seated belief in the power of democracy and freedom of press as agents of social change. It is committed to providing authentic news and analysis on Nepal. As a market leader, the media house has the added responsibility of affirming professionalism in the dissemination of factual information. The publication uses the latest in digital printing technology, with three satellite printing stations in three major cities within the country. Kantipur Publications values the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and currently houses a charitable trust which receives a portion of revenue from daily sales. A portion of the collected funds are received by the Bhaktapur Cancer Hospital for the treatment of cancer patients. The trust also supports other social initiatives. Kantipur is the first Nepali media house to become member of the World Association of Newspapers. One of the most significant moments in the history of Kantipur Publications came in June 2001 when the then director, managing director and editor of Kantipur Daily were arrested on the pretext of allegedly having printed a controversial article written by a leader of the then underground Communist Party Nepal (Maoist) following the royal massacre. The subsequent release and withdrawal of all charges was a landmark moment for Nepali journalism. This further established Kantipur’s role as a pioneer in advocating and establishing free press in Nepal. Kantipur Publications’ history, in many ways, parallels the history of democracy in Nepal. Established in 1993, only a few years after the first Jana Andolan, it became the country’s first private media house. With the mission of enhancing Nepali people’s right to right information, Kantipur is committed towards propagating responsible journalism, offering value to readers and providing an effective platform to advertisers. Currently, it is the only integrated media house in Nepal working in electronic, radio, television and print media.
