| This
year our Online News ranking has been
divided into two categories; “Best
Overall Online News” and “Best
Online News in Nepali” |
| Best
Overall Online News: |
The
“Best Overall Online News”
is ranked primarily on its content
and secondarily on its presentation
aspects such as user-friendly features,
easy navigation, and sound design.
We defined superior content by fresh
news content, its quality and the
diverse quantity of news. Based on
the content, Nepalnews.com is still
the king of News on Nepal closely
followed by Kantipur Online (www.
kantipuronline.com), Kamana Publication
NewsofNepal.com and Himalayan Times
(www.thehimalayantimes.com). Nepalnews
posts news relatively fast. Nepalnews
has its strength in its extensive
collection of quality news articles
from various publications.

On the other hand, Nepalnews’s
website did not have a pleasing design
or other user-friendly features such
as viewer comments, or a separate
page for each news story etc., like
other news websites. Himalayan Times
and closely followed by Kantipur Online
were technically better, user-friendlier
and had better design and navigation.
Newsofnepal.com is still commendable
on its decision to present the latest
news in Nepali.
The ranking this
year has seen some major changes.
Kantipuronline moved a notch to No
1 to tie with Nepalnews. Himalayan
Times gets second place closely followed
by the followed by NewsofNepal. Spacetime
was dropped out of ranking because
it did not have significant online
presence. Nepalnews is still a No.1
news website without any significant
upgrade to its website on the basis
of its great content. However, since
last year two of its major competition
News website kantipuronline and Himalayan
Times have upgraded their website,
it is time for Nepalnews to be proactive
and improve some of aspects of its
website.

Online News in Nepali: |
| The
“Best News in Nepali”

content and technical aspect and secondarily

readers. We defined superior Nepali
content by percentage, quantity and
quality of Nepali news content with
respect to other news content.
