NEW RESEARCH

Harsha Man Maharjan of Martin Chautari was awarded a PhD degree by Kyoto University, Japan, in March 2019. His dissertation, ‘Digital Transitions and the Making of Online Newspapers in Nepal’, analyses the transition of Nepali newspapers from print to digital platforms. It focuses on the transformations of private and public newspaper organisations – Kantipur Publications and Gorkhapatra Corporation ­– and their technological capabilities within the changing political, economic and cultural contexts. For more information, contact Harsha Man Maharjan at harsha.maharjan@gmail.com
