## About

Onlinekhabar has two newsrooms and one editor. Nepal's largest online publisher runs its English edition as a translation desk whose whole daily output carries three recycled account names instead of reporters, and covers the television channel its chairman owns without saying so. The politics cuts both ways: a governing minister and an opposition leader take equal punishment in one day's file.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** Published by Onlinekhabar Nepal Pvt Ltd, founded and chaired by Dharma Raj Bhusal with Suresh Bhusal as executive director, registered with the Department of Information under number 214/073-74. The same owners took control of Himalaya Television in 2018, and since April 2026 a single group editor has directed both newsrooms. Basanta Basnet has been editor-in-chief since May 2025. No party or state holding is documented.
- **Funding:** Advertising only, free to read, with no paywall or subscription; the commercial contacts published on the site are the chairman's and executive director's personal accounts. No donor, foundation or grant funding is disclosed and none was found.
- **Focus areas:** Nepali politics and government decisions, economy and markets, crime and courts, health and environment, and contributed opinion; most English copy is translated from the Nepali newsroom.


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
