Accountability: A Recipe to Discipline Media

Prof. Rama Krishna Regmee

---

Abstract:

The sense of accountability is something that is missing in various sectors in Nepal. Creating various sorts of excuses to evade accountability appears to be the prevailing rule. This context should be taken into consideration while discussing media accountability in the country. In this regard, the discourse on media accountability, which has been consolidated through various works of western scholars over the past 75 years, should also be explained. Appropriate explanation of answerability and liability is also desirable in mapping the accountability of media. Pursuit of answerability could make Nepali media more responsible.

Keywords: media, accountability, answerability, liability, culpability, media literate citizenry, eastern thought of duty, social responsibility.
