Nepali media is prone to spreading fake news, and the damage caused by misinformation intensifies during a crisis. Taking into consideration a variety of works from scholars, the authors looked at the various factors that affected the news media in Nepal such as technology, government policies and fear during a public health crisis. In this analysis, two communication theories were used, namely, social responsibility theory of the press and agenda-setting theory. The authors intended to analyze misinformation’s impact on Nepal during the pandemic and how the effect was minimized greatly through community radio. In this regard, the authors looked into instances of misinformation and drew a parallel to current situation in Nepal. Secondly, the paper analysed the negative impacts caused by misinformation in Nepal in general and during COVID-19. The third aspect that the author focused on was the positive effect that community radio had on the country and how several other measures could be adopted to tackle the situation. The authors found that community radio played an influential positive role in alleviating the threat posed by fake news in Nepal, and this method could be sought after during crises to tackle misinformation. The paper concluded with the iteration that the local communities which adopted radio as a means of communication during COVID-19 did a thorough job of holding the fort in handling the spread of fake news. It was concluded that Nepal had attempted to reach out to indigenous communities through radios, and, although many other steps needed to be taken, this was a step in the right direction
