    Press Council Amendment Bill, 2074 (2018)


    Press Council Nepal has come up with an amendment bill of Press
    Council Act 2075 B.S that aims at amending the existing Press Council
    Act 2048 B.S. Several provisions have been amended as per the “need of
    the changed context and advancement of technology in media”. New
    emerging field of broadcasting sector including online media has been
    incorporated in the act along with the other necessary amendments. The
    time when media should be promoted for the practice of self-regulation,
    the amendment of the act has made the council more regulatory in and
    more government role can be observed in selection committee of the
    board member and setting rights and duties of the council. This brings
    government domination in board and council may lose its autonomous
    status.
