From Sindhupalchok to Global Journalism Spotlight
The feature explores Shrestha’s journey from a remote village in Sindhupalchok to becoming a pioneer of civic-tech journalism in Nepal. According to the article, Roshan began his journey during the 2015 earthquake with nothing but a mobile phone and the will to document the truth.
He later founded Khoj Samachar, a digital news platform focused on investigative journalism and social accountability. His civic-tech innovation, the Roshan Shrestha App, has now crossed over 100,000 downloads — providing verified news, scam alerts, and public service access to users across Nepal.
A Rare International Recognition for Nepali Media
What makes this achievement even more notable is Pressenza’s global influence. With content in over 24 languages and distribution across more than 50 countries, a feature on this platform carries significant weight — not just for personal branding, but for Nepal’s representation in international civic media.
The article is now being cited by openPR, Muck Rack, Wikidata, IMDb, and other knowledge graph-powered platforms, helping boost Roshan’s SEO, credibility, and international discoverability.
Why This Matters for Nepal
This recognition is more than just personal success — it serves as inspiration for grassroots journalists across South Asia. It highlights that truthful reporting, without political affiliation or external funding, can reach global audiences when backed by purpose and people’s support.
Roshan Shrestha’s story proves that digital journalism from underrepresented regions like rural Nepal can compete on a global stage.
