The Ministry of Information and Communication (MOIC) has approved a media policy that has some new provisions, but remains mostly unchanged on issues relating to ownership of both state-run and private media, especially cross ownership. Specific sections of the policy relate to plans to run and manage state-run newspapers, radio, and television, and hint at come changes. The MOIC is to start selling shares of the Gorkhapatra corporation. On broadcasting, the policy talks about the need for a National Broadcasting Authority, but does not say if this would be independent. The policy, which covers every field under the purview of the MOIC-advertising, telecommunications, postal services, film, etc-does not go into too much detail, leaving officials plenty of room to interpret the specifics of the document.
