Thomson Foundation trainers worked with Nepalese journalists to help deliver fair, responsible and open reports in the run up to the elections to the country’s Constituent Assembly. The training, held in different centres, encouraged journalists to change the emphasis of reporting in the Nepalese media towards reflecting the needs of the people and calling politicians to account.
