The misinformation landscape in Nepal is complex, and developing effective interventions requires understanding its nuances from multiple perspectives. This book attempts to assess Nepal’s misinformation landscape through various angles and lenses. The chapters are divided into two broad sections. The first four chapters focus on understanding the state of misinformation in Nepal and public perceptions surrounding it. The two other chapters examines interventions—specifically media and information literacy, and fact-checking — and their state and effectiveness in Nepal.
