Civil conflict in Nepal, and the efforts to suppress it, have had a profound impact on the media. Rights groups say attacks on media workers were perpetrated by both sides during the 10-year Maoist rebellion.

Private TV stations operate alongside state-run networksPress freedom suffered under the state of emergency invoked by King Gyanendra in 2005. Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders said Nepal accounted for half of the world's censorship cases in that year. It said more than 400 journalists had been arrested, attacked or threatened.
Once-outspoken private publications had to follow strict guidelines. Some left their editorial pages blank, or published editorials on deliberately bland topics. Private radio stations were ordered not to broadcast political news.

In May 2006 the new multi-party government eased some of the edicts.
In 2007 Reporters Without Borders raised concerns about journalists in the south. It said communal violence had forced some reporters to flee. Media workers had been attacked, it added.

Private FM radio stations have burgeoned; by 2005 there were around 50 stations across the country. The government has opened up the television sector and a number of commercial stations are on the air.

The government publishes a Nepali-language daily and an English-language newspaper. It operates radio and TV services.
