Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The role of the media is critical in promoting good governance and controlling corruption. The media raises public awareness by investigating incidents of corruption and reporting them to the public through various channels. The effectiveness of the media depends on factors such as access to information, press freedom, media plurality, and a professional and ethical cadre of investigative journalists. This paper explores the role of media in curbing corruption, focusing on the Nepalese context. It also suggests additional roles and functions that media houses can adopt to strengthen their efforts in combating corruption.
