The preliminary results of the assessment of Nepal’s media landscape, based on UNESCO’s Media Development Indicators (MDI), were presented to media professionals on 18 October 2011 in Lalitpur during the National MDI Conference. The assessment is the first of its kind in Nepal and it is being conducted by the Nepal Press Institute and Management Innovation, Training and Research Academy, with support from the UNESCO Office in Kathmandu. The indicators provide a comprehensive framework for evaluating the media landscape and approaching policy issues of any given country. The indicators cover five areas: System of regulation and control; Pluralism and diversity of the media; The media as a platform for democratic discourse; Professional capacity; and Infrastructural capacity.
