The first extended meeting of the Socialist Press Organization of Nepal, an organization of progressive working journalists, has started in the capital from today. The two-day meeting was inaugurated by CPN (Unified Socialist) leader Jhala Nath Khanal.
The meeting has been attended by more than 300 members including central office bearers, members, state in-charge, district chairperson, vice-chairperson and former chairperson. The organizational report of the chairperson and secretary-general will be presented in the meeting. After the inaugural session, the closed session is now underway.
Chairman of the organization, Shambhu Shrestha, said that a socialist press organization has been established with the aim of reintegrating into a new stream after a heritage built after decades of hard work was damaged.
He informed that the organization has been expanded to more than 40 districts of the country within five months of the formation of the Central Committee of the Socialist Press Organization of Nepal. He said that all the necessary departments have been formed at the state and central levels to make the organization functional.
Chairman Shrestha said that the organization is working for the rights, professional security, professional development and dignified livelihood of more than 10,000 journalists, about 600 broadcasters, 200 mainstream online and print media affiliated journalists.
