Madhav Prasad Guragain

Madhav Prasad Guragain, founder and editor-in-chief of Nepal Aaja, has been a leading figure in Nepal's media landscape since 2012. His career in journalism began with the launch of HOPE, a monthly English-language magazine, showcasing his dedication to providing quality journalism. Guragain is a steadfast advocate for independent journalism, emphasizing that the media should serve as a mirror reflecting society with absolute clarity and honesty.

For Guragain, editorial freedom is paramount; it is the cornerstone of truthful reporting free from bias or external interference. However, he underscores that this freedom must be exercised responsibly. He strongly opposes the misuse of media to spread misinformation or propagate false narratives under the guise of press freedom. Guragain firmly believes that it is the audience's role to hold such outlets accountable, leading to a loss of credibility and eventual decline for those who fail to uphold ethical journalism. Public trust, he asserts, is the foundation of a successful and enduring media organization.

In Guragain’s philosophy, the media’s courage to present the unvarnished truth—even in the face of challenges—is what earns lasting public support. He acknowledges the risks involved in fearless reporting, as the truth often invites attacks from those with vested interests. Yet, he believes that such opposition is temporary, and in the long run, truth and righteousness always prevail.

Under Guragain’s leadership, Nepal Aaja has earned a reputation for bold and fearless journalism. The platform has consistently delivered hard-hitting news across various sectors, standing firmly against misinformation, corruption, and extremism. With its unwavering commitment to ethical reporting and moral integrity, Nepal Aaja continues to set benchmarks in Nepal's media industry, solidifying its role as a trusted voice for the public.
