Khasokhas is Nepali diaspora’s voice in New York since 2012. ‘Khasokhas’ is a Nepalese word whose dictionary meaning translates to ‘verified truth’. The team of Khasokhas addresses news with utter surety and research. Khasokhas is among the top 50 ‘Digital First Responders’ list in a select database of immigrant media innovators compiled by the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York (CUNY).

New York City is one of the most diverse cities in the USA, and the media channels its residents utilize reflect that diversity. Community and ethnic media organizations are a vital part of the fabric of the city and they provide an important way for the city to communicate vital services including immigrants or those with limited English proficiency. Communities of color and immigrants often rely on their own news outlets as the only trusted sources of information. Yet these news outlets remain largely invisible to mainstream media, public officials, the nonprofit sector, advertisers, and philanthropic organizations. Local and community news matters more than ever.

Our audience consists of a wide range of tribes from Nepal and Nepali speaking community currently living in the USA.

Nepali community is Ethnic minority and socially /economically disadvantaged population in the USA. There are more than half a million Nepali speaking population living in the USA. Though most of them are of Nepali origin, Tibetan and Bhutanese population are also well versed in Nepali language. Khasokhas is number one Nepali news source of them.

All our leadership and staff members are of Nepali origin, belonging to different ethnic tribes. We all grew up in Nepal and can serve our audience well because of their close proximity to the community.
