Nepal’s journalism education is experiencing a decline in enrollment as students opt for more stable career paths. Teachers and media professionals attribute this trend to a struggling media industry within the country. Low salaries and a lack of job security are significant deterrents for aspiring journalists. Consequently, many students are seeking opportunities in other fields or choosing to pursue education and employment abroad. This exodus of talent threatens the future of independent and quality journalism in Nepal. The situation highlights broader challenges facing the Nepali media landscape, including economic pressures and limited support for the profession. Sustained decline could erode media freedom and public access to information.
