The research is about the control and reflection of ruling ideology in state owned and private or elite run print media. The research takes the news coverage of state owned "The Rising Nepal" and elite run media "The Kathmandu Post" during the Dalits' Movement and analyzes them as content analysis. The study claims that the news coverage of Dalits' movement in these both print media was governed, controlled and mediated by the state ideology; thus, news coverage remained miserable, stereotyped, ideologically contaminated and the Dalits' movement was misrepresented. With the support of wide range of concepts, concerning ideology, power, discourse and politics the study proves that Nepali print media simply becomes an ideological state apparatus and remained indifferent to the powerless people and communities like Dalits.
