Nepal’s newspapers have a history of over a hundred years but the first private commercial daily newspaper began publishing in 1993. Since then, the circulation of newspapers has increased, contrarily to many countries where the industry has experienced a slowdown in sales because of the emergence of Internet.

The Nepal Press Institute (NPI) is a non-governmental journalist training institution. It was established in 1984 and runs a 10-month journalism training course for aspiring journalists. It also runs a one-month writing and interviewing skills course in its Regional Media Resource Centres in Biratnagar, eastern Nepal and Nepalgunj, western Nepal.

Many institutions, such as the Centre for Investigative Journalism and the Sancharika Samuha (Group of Women Communicators) run short-term journalism courses but they are not regular and their availability depends upon the funding by the donor agencies.
