Aawaaj News is expanding its work through Aawaaj Research, a dedicated wing focused on examining Nepal’s social and political life through evidence-based inquiry. While media representation and discourse shaping remain central themes, Aawaaj Research will also
investigate broader questions of inequality, marginality, and structural exclusion—producing research that brings forward perspectives often overlooked in mainstream narratives and offers alternative ways of understanding Nepal’s changing society.

Built on the belief that media has a vital role in shaping public understanding, Aawaaj Research will foreground questions of representation, power, and equity, and analyse how narratives (both within and beyond media) shape public discourse. Our research approach combines rigorous qualitative and quantitative methodologies, enabling us to capture both lived experiences and structural patterns. We aim to produce work that is publicly accessible, policy-relevant, and grounded in Nepal’s socio-political realities.
