The Kathmandu Post is a major daily newspaper published in Nepal. Centred in the capital Kathmandu, it is the one of the largest English-language newspapers in the country.[1][2] The Kathmandu Post is independently-owned,[3] and is published by Kantipur Publications, the owners of Nepal's largest selling newspaper, the Nepali-language Kantipur.[4] It is a member of the Asia News Network, an alliance of nineteen Asian newspapers.[5]
In October 2007, the offices of The Kathmandu Post were attacked by the All Nepal Printing and Publication Workers' Union, a group connected to the former Maoist rebels. The printing press was vandalised, stopping the paper from being published. Two-hundred journalists and legal professions marched in Kathmandu in protest at the attacks.[4][6]
