Reading News
eNepali brings you Nepali and world news in one place, ranked for what matters to you. This page shows you how to browse the news, switch between Nepal and international coverage, follow the topics you care about, open an article, and save stories to read later.
Where news lives
News sits right on your Home feed, alongside organizations (and events where available).
- On the web (enepali.com): Open Home (the feed). Along the top you'll see tabs for Organizations and News (and Events where available). Tap News to switch the feed to news.
- In the app (iOS/Android): You browse news from the dedicated All News area. It has its own search bar and two rows of filters so you can narrow things down quickly.
Choosing Nepal or the wider world
eNepali separates news by where it comes from, so you can focus on Nepal, your own country, or international stories.
On the web
Once the News tab is open, a row of rounded filter chips appears just below the tabs:
- All — everything mixed together.
- Nepal — news from Nepal.
- Intl — international / world news.
- A local chip — this shows your own country's news. Its label changes to match where you are: it might read Local, USA, or your country's name.
The chips only appear once eNepali knows where you are. If you're browsing from inside Nepal, you'll see All, Nepal, and Intl (no separate local chip, since Nepal is already covered by the Nepal chip). If you're outside Nepal, you'll also get the extra local chip for your own country's news. Until your location is known, you'll just see All.
In the app
The app gives you two separate rows of filters:
Top row — where the news is from:
- Local News — news near you.
- Nepal News — news from Nepal.
- Other Language — stories in other languages / from the wider world.
Second row — how it's sorted:
- For You — personalized to your interests (see "Following the topics you care about" below).
- Trending — stories getting a lot of attention right now.
- Latest — the newest stories first.
The web keeps things simple with a single row of chips (All / Nepal / Intl / your country). The app splits this into two rows — one for the region and one for the sort order (For You, Trending, Latest). Both let you reach the same kinds of stories; the app just gives you an extra layer of control.
Following the topics you care about
You can tell eNepali which subjects to show you more of. Those choices power the personalized For You view.
- Go to your Profile.
- Open Preferences.
- Find News categories. You'll see the hint: "Choose topics you want to see more of in your feed."
- Tap any category to select it (selected ones are highlighted). Tap again to remove it.
- Save your choices.
The more you tell eNepali about your interests, the better the For You and personalized results become.
You don't have to pick anything to read the news — leaving it blank just gives you a broader mix. Come back and adjust your categories any time; the feed adapts to your changes.
Opening and reading an article
- Browse the news list and tap any headline that interests you.
- The story opens with its picture, headline, source, and the date it was published.
- Scroll down to read the full text. In the app, an in-app article also shows Similar News (related stories) at the bottom, followed by the story's Categories and Tags. On the web, an eNepali-written article shows a Related list of nearby stories.
Here's the simple decision eNepali makes when you tap a story:
- In the app: Many stories link out to the original publisher. When you tap one, that source page opens inside eNepali (you never leave the app). Stories that don't link out open as a full in-app article laid out with the source, category, date, similar news, categories and tags. If you reach an in-app article that also has an outside link (for example, from a shared link), you'll see a Read original source button to jump to the publisher. When a story comes from an organization on eNepali, you can tap the source name to visit that organization's page.
- On the web: Stories that point to an outside website open framed inside eNepali with an Open original link in the top corner. If the page doesn't load, use Open original to view it directly. Stories written on eNepali show as a full article with the source and time at the top.
Saving stories to read later
Every article has a small action bar so you can save, comment on, or share it.
- Bookmark — saves the story so you can find it later. Tap it again (Remove bookmark) to unsave.
- Comment — join the discussion on the story.
- Share — send the story to friends via your usual sharing options.
Bookmarking is tied to your account. If you're browsing as a guest and tap bookmark, eNepali asks you to sign in first — in the app you'll see a sign-in prompt, and on the web you'll be taken to the login page. Separately, while browsing the web feed as a guest you'll see a "Join eNepali — sign in to follow organizations, comment, and message" banner near the top.
News stories don't have a Like button — you Bookmark, Comment, and Share instead. (Likes appear on other kinds of posts, not on news.)
How fresh and relevant stories reach the top
You don't have to hunt for good stories — eNepali surfaces them for you:
- For You blends in the topics you've chosen in News categories and what you tend to read.
- Trending highlights the stories lots of people are engaging with right now.
- Latest puts the newest stories first, so you never miss breaking news.
- Your location shapes what counts as "local," which is why the Nepal, international, and your-country views feel tailored to you.
Refreshing for the newest news
To pull in the latest stories:
- In the app / on mobile: pull down on the list to refresh.
- On desktop web: pull down to refresh, or tap the circular refresh button next to the feed tabs (this button appears on wider screens).
Searching the news
Both platforms let you search across news right from the feed.
- On the web: tap the search bar at the top of the Home feed — it reads "Search organizations, news, posts…" and covers news along with the rest of eNepali.
- In the app: the All News screen has its own search bar; start typing and results update as you go.
When there's nothing to show
If a view is empty, you'll see a friendly message rather than a blank screen:
- On the web News tab: "No news in your feed yet."
- In the app's All News list: "No news available."
- If a specific article can't be found (for example, an old shared link): "News not found."
If that happens, try switching filters, refreshing, or checking your connection. On an article that fails to load in the app, you can tap Retry.
For the most tailored experience: pick your favorite topics under Preferences → News categories, use For You (app) or the News tab (web) as your daily read, switch to Nepal or Intl when you want a specific angle, and Bookmark anything you want to come back to.
