Madhav Prasad Guragain

Madhav Guragain, the founder and editor-in-chief of Nepal Aaja, has been a prominent figure in the media industry since 2012, serving as both a publisher and chief executive. His career began with the publication of HOPE, a monthly English-language magazine, marking the start of his commitment to journalism. Guragain firmly believes in independent journalism that offers a crystal-clear reflection of society, presenting editorial content with the same unaltered clarity as a mirror reflects reality.

He advocates that the media must maintain full editorial freedom to report the truth without bias or external influence. However, this freedom comes with responsibility. Media should never promote misinformation or false narratives in the guise of freedom. Should any outlet engage in such practices, Guragain asserts that it is the audience’s duty to hold them accountable, leading to a decline in readership and the eventual downfall of such media organizations. Public trust, in his view, is the cornerstone of a successful and prosperous media house.

According to Guragain, media that are honest and courageous, delivering facts without fear, even in the face of risk, will always garner public support. He acknowledges that when the media stands firm in presenting facts, they often come under attack from anti-social elements. These malevolent forces may appear powerful in the short term, but over time, righteousness prevails.

Nepal Aaja has built its reputation on taking bold stands, publishing fearless news across various sectors, and standing firm against all forms of extremism. With a strong moral foundation and an unwavering commitment to the truth, the platform has achieved significant milestones in its journey of journalism.
