Why WeNepal: calm, sourced news for Nepal, in Nepali and English

There is no shortage of news about Nepal. There is a shortage of time, and of news you can trust at a glance. WeNepal exists to close that gap: the day's news, checked, neutral and short, in the language you read best.

A single event can reach you as dozens of near-identical posts, headlines written to provoke a click, and rumours that spread faster than the facts. Readers spend more time sorting than understanding. For someone reading on a phone during a lunch break in Doha or a night shift in Seoul, that is time they do not have.

Some of the most useful reporting sits behind subscriptions, while many free pages are slow and crowded with pop-ups. Reading the basic facts of the day should not need a credit card or a fast connection.

In a lively political culture, it is easy for the way a story is written to lean one way. Labels, loaded adjectives and unattributed claims can turn a report into an argument. Readers deserve to know what happened and who said what, and to make up their own minds.

Every newsroom makes mistakes. The question is what happens next. When an error is fixed silently, or a story simply disappears, readers cannot tell what changed or why. That erodes trust in everything else.

Our writing rules block clickbait, partisan labels and hype words. Claims are attributed to whoever made them ("police said", "the ministry said"), and an accusation is never stated as fact. WeNepal is not affiliated with any party, government, company or sponsor, and our governance tracker treats every government in the same way. When we publish our own opinion, it is labelled "Editorial".

Every story comes from public sources and the WeNepal research team: public reports, official notices, court orders, central bank data and our own checks. Every number, name, date and quote in a story must appear in a source, and copied sentences are rejected. We keep our sources on record so that editors can trace any error back to where it came from. We do not name or republish other outlets; we write in our own words.

WeNepal is not an English site with a translated corner, or the other way round. The Nepali edition and the English edition are both complete, and each story is written in each language's natural order rather than translated word for word.

Most stories are a short summary, three key points and a line on why it matters. The Pulse gives you the day's main stories each morning and evening, and short videos cover the same news for people who would rather watch. The website is built to load quickly, and the app keeps saved stories on your phone for reading offline.

When we get something wrong, we correct it on the story with a dated note that says what changed. Major corrections are also posted where the story appeared and listed on our public corrections page. A story that should not have been published is retracted, not quietly deleted. You can read the full rules in our corrections policy.

Our staff build, edit and approve stories, and automated tools help with finding, sorting and drafting. Some routine stories are prepared and published automatically after strict checks, and they say so in the byline. Stories on sensitive subjects, such as elections, courts and deaths, must pass stricter checks or they are not published. We explain all of this in plain words in How the WeNepal newsroom works and in our AI policy.

We never show invented counts of readers, views, likes or ratings. If a number appears on WeNepal, it is real. If we do not have it, we leave it out.

Hold us to these promises. If a story looks one-sided, if a fact is wrong, or if a correction is missing, tell us through the contact page or at corrections@wenepal.com. Read our editorial policy to see the rules we have committed to, and About WeNepal to see who we are.

Because there is plenty of news but little of it is short, neutral, sourced and available in both Nepali and English at once. WeNepal is built for readers who want the facts of the day quickly and want to know where they came from.

Our writing rules block partisan labels, loaded words and clickbait, every claim is attributed to whoever made it, and accusations are never stated as fact. We are not affiliated with any party, government, company or sponsor.

No. WeNepal is free to read on the web and in the app. It is supported by advertising, and ads and sponsored content are always labelled. Sponsored content never appears in politics or election coverage.

Yes, openly. Automated tools help our staff find, sort and draft stories, and some routine stories are prepared and published automatically after strict checks, under the byline "LacNova AI". Editors check a sample every day and can correct or unpublish any story.
