At the talk program in martin chautari on “Development Journalism: Necessity and Challenges” Laxman Dutta Pant gave in depth analysis over the situation of Development Communication in Nepal. He mentioned “Nepal still lacks in the professionalism of journalist as a whole. Journalism has become a hobby rather than job.” He added people from other profession can join journalism and this practice is creating some hurdles.
He discussed development communication in Nepal, another hotly debated concept in recent years. His analysis of Nepal’s development communication is preceded by brief examination of theories that underline development communication—diffusion of innovation, two-step flow theory, and interpersonal communication. He gave his analysis about development journalism emphasizing national identity, integration, creation of public awareness, promoting people’s participation and rural development. Pant provided a good overview on how effectively development communication can provide a strong base for the development of the 3rd world countries like Nepal. Pant discussed about the present one way traffic of journalists rushing behind the parties and their deeds and in this trend the state of development journalists is directionless. Not only the professionalism but the studying of the development journalism is again another crisis as the course is quiet shaded. He agreed with the concept that the development journalism is a product of 3rd world country but it is not that the 1st world country is not practicing the system. The 1st world countries are taking development journalism into the infrastructural development and in our cases we are more into social development.
Pant further discussed supportive environment is always essential for everything to sustain and this development journalism agenda should be given a separate entity as well. Press violation is always an undignified act which should always be settled aside. Regarding the investment over the development journalism pant pointed the lack of the investors’ interest towards this area. The lack of glamour in development journalism than in any other can be the crucial factor. Talking about the cause of the condition of development journalism sector he criticized the government and conflict with unpredicted the natural disasters.

आप की लेखन शैली कि तो जबाब नहि. बेहद खुब. लक्षमन दत्त पन्त आज एक ऐसे नाम के रुप मे उभर गये है जिन्हे बिकास पत्रकारिता के नाम से ना जोडा जाय तो बेईमानी हि होगी. पत्रकारिता मे प्रवेश करने के लिए, संबन्धित बिषय कि डिग्री होना हि चाहिए. आज कल पत्रकारिता सब कि जागिर बन चुकि है, कोई काम ना मिला तो चलो पत्रकार बन जाते हैं. यहि तुक्ष मानसिक्ता और दिगभ्रमित सोंच पुरे पत्रकारिता जगत को खोकला कर चुकी है. अब देखना ये होगा कि खब तक ये पेशा शौख और साहित्य के रुप मे सीमित रह पाती है, लाजमी है ऐसे परिस्थिती मे ना नेपाल की पत्रकारिता का “स्टान्डर्ड” कभि बढेगी ना तो नेपाल कभि अपने आप को पत्रकारिता का गढ के रुप मे साबित कर पाएगा.
