RSF Nepal Correspondent Binod Dhungel said that media houses should be responsible for the safety of journalists. "The main responsibility of keeping journalists safe when they go for reporting lies with the media house. They must provide them with knowledge, skills, and necessary materials".

आरएसएफका नेपाल प्रतिनिधि विनोद ढुंगेलले पत्रकारको सुरक्षाका लागि मिडिया हाउस जिम्मेवार हुनुपर्ने बताए। ‘रिपोर्टिङमा गएका पत्रकारलाई कसरी सुरक्षित राख्ने भन्ने मुख्य जिम्मेवारी मिडिया हाउसको हो । उनीहरूलाई ज्ञान, सीप र आवश्यक सामग्री दिने काम मिडिया हाउसले गर्नुपर्छ,’ उनले भने ।

Nepal must choose: use technology to expand democratic participation or weaponize it for surveillance and control. The youth have already made their choice. Will the state catch up?

Public service or fortress broadcasting? Amid the Gen-Z protests, Radio Nepal’s studio was briefly seized by a retired editor. PSBN launched a task force—but no report yet. Accountability, access, & crisis protocols are the real story.
