The document discusses declining trust in journalism and media among readers. Readers are placing more trust in social media information over traditional news sources, as some media outlets prioritize content that favors their own interests and censor opposing views. While social media allows all opinions to be shared, it is also increasing people's attraction away from professional journalism. Journalism is also becoming less impartial as outlets favor party-aligned or factional reporting over public interest journalism. This partisan approach has weakened integrity and balance in reporting.

The proposed Cooperatives Act 2072 is aimed at modernizing and updating the existing Cooperatives Act 2048 to meet current needs. Some provisions in the draft bill have been debated, including those relating to board tenure, investment restrictions, and mandatory share capital requirements. While certain provisions like increasing women's participation are welcomed, others may hinder the cooperative movement by over-regulating aspects like name changes, mergers, and profit distribution in a way that goes against global cooperative principles. The bill needs to balance oversight with allowing cooperatives flexibility to serve members according to local contexts.

National fedratation of disabled nepal eastern regional half yearly publicati...Uttam Siwakoti
This article discusses some key issues related to disability that were not adequately addressed in the draft of Nepal's new constitution. While the drafting of a new constitution is an important milestone, it has failed to fully represent the perspectives and address the concerns of marginalized groups such as ethnic minorities, indigenous communities, linguistic groups and persons with disabilities. If these issues are not properly addressed, the constitution risks being ineffective or short-lived.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.
