I’m Sushil Aryal, a Nepali journalist, editor, and media strategist. Over two decades, I’ve helped shape the news landscape in Nepal. Today, I serve as Editor-in-Chief of News Polar. Along the way, I’ve guided major national newsrooms through evolving media landscapes. The goal never changes: make sure the public gets accurate, timely, deeply researched information.<\/p>\n
Before News Polar, I spent nearly a decade at NEWS24 NEPAL, one of the country’s premier television networks. I rose through the ranks there\u2014Editor-in-Chief, then News Director, then News Coordinator. But my roots go back further. I got my start at Radio Sagarmatha, South Asia’s first community radio station, working as a reporter and, later, a producer and presenter.<\/p>\n
Radio. Television. Digital media. I’ve worked across all three, and that mix taught me how to reach audiences wherever they are. My work doesn’t stop at daily reporting, though. I care deeply about media accountability and press freedom, and legal transparency runs through both. That’s why I helped found REMAC Nepal\u2014the Research and Media Centre Against Corruption\u2014along with the Journalist Society of Law. I’ve also been part of building the Journalist Society of Parliamentary Affairs.<\/p>\n
Courageous journalism has defined my career. It earned me the Outstanding Journalism Award. And it’s why, today, I’m proud to be a trusted voice and mentor in Nepali media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
