Nepal Bhasa journalism began in 1925 with the publication of the magazine ''Buddha Dharma wa Nepal Bhasa'' (Devanagari: बुद्ध धर्म व नॆपाल भाषा). It was the first ever magazine to be published in Nepal Bhasa. It was published from Kolkata, India by Dharmaditya Dharmacharya.〔LeVine, Sarah and Gellner, David N. (2005) ''Rebuilding Buddhism: The Theravada Movement in Twentieth-Century Nepal.'' Harvard University Press. ISBN 978-0-674-01908-9. Pages 27-28. Retrieved 14 June 2011.〕 ==Magazines== Dharmacharya (1902-1963) was the first Nepal Bhasa journalist. He was the editor and he also wrote many of the articles in ''Buddha Dharma wo Nepal Bhasa''. It was published from India instead of Nepal as the Rana dynasty disapproved of any attempt to promote either the religion or the language. 〔 Page 10.〕 Originally named ''Buddha Dharma'', the magazine's editorial policy later expanded from publicizing Theravada Buddhism to developing Nepal Bhasa. In 1927, its name was changed to ''Buddha Dharma wo Nepal Bhasa'' (Buddha Dharma and Nepal Bhasa), and it began including creative works in Nepal Bhasa too. The magazine folded in 1930. Dharmacharya was born Jagat Man Vaidya in Lalitpur.〔Tuladhar, Prem Shanti (2000). ''Nepal Bhasa Sahityaya Itihas: The History of Nepalbhasa Literature.'' Kathmandu: Nepal Bhasa Academy. ISBN 99933-56-00-X. Page 96.〕 ''Dharmodaya'' was a monthly magazine which launched in October 1947 in Kalimpong. It was published by Maniharsha Jyoti for Dharmodaya Sabha, an organization formed by Buddhist monks who had been expelled from Nepal in 1944 for promoting Theravada Buddhism.〔Joshi, Bhuwan Lal and Rose, Leo E. (1966) ''Democratic innovations in Nepal: A case study of political acculturation.'' University of California Press. Page 244.〕 〔 Pages 306-307.〕 The first editors were monks Aniruddha and Mahanam Kobid. ''Dharmodaya'' had a major effect on standardizing the language. From 1949 to 1960, it was published from Kolkata. In 1977, the magazine was again published from Kalimpong with Bhaichand Pradhan as editor and Tara Upasak as publisher on behalf of Kalimpong Dharmodaya Sabha. In 1951, ''Thaunkanhe'' () (meaning "Nowadays"), the first Nepal Bhasa magazine to be published from Nepal, was launched. The monthly began publication on 21 May 1951 in Kathmandu and is still in print. The founding editor, deputy editor and publisher were Purna Kaji Tamrakar, Pushpa Ratna Sagar and Ratna Man Singh Tuladhar respectively.〔 Page 81.〕 In 1952, a literary quarterly ''Nepal'' appeared, published by Nepal Bhasa Parisad (Nepal Bhasa Council). The first editor was Hridaya Chandra Singh Pradhan. It is one of the major publications that emerged during the post-democracy period. Another early literary magazine was ''Jhee'' (Devanagari: झी) (meaning "We") which ran from 1958 to 1985. It was edited by Mohan Narayan and published by Nepal Bhasa Bikas Mandal (Nepal Bhasa Development Organization) from Kathmandu.〔Nepal Trading Corporation (1959). ''A Tourist Guide to Nepal.'' Delhi: Nepal Trading Corporation. Page 45.〕 ''Situ'' (Devanagari: सितु) (meaning "Holy Grass") was a bimonthly published from 1964-1991. It was a purely literary magazine. It was edited by Prem Bahadur Kansakar and published by Chwasa Pasa. ''Situ'' helped to launch a host of new writers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nepal Bhasa journalism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
