The next 400

Eight years ago, Nepali Times started with promises. Promises to report the truth with evidence every week. Promises to carry news from around Nepal that is neglected. Promises to elevate design and photography. Promises to consistently offer content of value to discerning readers and premium advertisers.

Judging by the rising readership both in hard copy and online eSpecial editions, and the affection it receives from advertisers, it is clear that Nepali Times has fulfilled promises it made in 2000. Building up on that success, here's what we promise to do in the next 400 issues:

Nepali Times promises to develop additional business, trade and finance content as the country's quality of life, employment levels and incomes rise. It promises to give Nepal's sharpest young journalists the freedom to explore issues that matter to you.

It promises to make full use of multimedia platforms to deliver reliable news and views interactively to you. And it promises to continue informing and entertaining you through its trademark tone of lively language to address serious issues.

Ashutosh Tiwari
CEO, Himalmedia

World class

Week after week since the first issue on 6 July 2000, Nepali Times has brought you in-depth reporting and expert commentaries on Nepali politics, business, culture, travel and society. All this within an attractive and lively package that has credibility and world-class production values.

In this 400th issue, we express our appreciation to the valuable partnership we have had with you, our advertisers and clients. Your confidence in us and unflinching support has been a very important part of this success. We look forward to deeper cooperation in the coming years as Nepali Times expands its content and reach.

We will cover issues that matter to people who matter.
