It is always difficult to be in-charge of the state media as the person should be ready all the time to change the overall stance of the media anytime the government changes. Its probably the most undesirable task for the professional journalists.
Gorkhapatra, The Rising Nepal, Nepal Television and Radio Nepal are four state-run media and the changes can clearly be seen on them after the King reinstated the parliament. The most visible of the change is on the masthead as both Gorkhapatra and The Rising Nepal removed the motto ‘Dedicated to Nation, Patriotism, Crown and Democracy‘ from today’s edition. Both added the motto a few days after the King took over executive power on Feb 1, 2005.
