“For all this, I must admit, the bloggers put pressure on us.”
These are words of Kiran Nepal, the co-ordinator of HimalKhabar.com, a Nepali news portal from Himal Media during the official launching of the site.
I am happy becasue bloggers are inspiring (‘pressure’) people to go to internet and to go in an interactive way. Rajendra Dahal, the editor of Himal, the popular Nepali fortnightly, said they want to tap the young generation by going the web-way. “Today’s youth are not reading Himal because they check news online,” he said. “We want them to read Himal, and it is only possible this way.”
Dahal added: “Though online media won’t kill print media in future, I am sure, print will live only by support from online media.” Wow!
The other thing I liked about the lauch was that I, along with Dinesh Wagle and Umesh Shrestha, were invited as the bloggers.
