One of the good things to come out of the Madhesi revolution, hopefully, will be the end of Kantipur's hegemony. Regional media has already made huge progress in radio. there's no reason for print to be any different. Kantipur's coverage of the Madhesh revolution was pathetic, kind of like Gorkhapatra during gyanendra's rule.
