And I believe that alternative can be found in women's perspective of peace and their ways of attaining it.

It is especially the case with the p ublic-service media which would equate serving the public to spea king for the public. The private media are also under pressu re to incorporate citizens as actors in the production of their editorial contents. The logic here is the point that, though private in ownership, these media institutionally benefit from the maximum privilege of the speech- and press-freedoms that most societies stipulate in their constitutions. Also n oted in this logic is the view that the media are arguably a critical agent of information nurturing an informed citizenry, a prer equisite to fostering consolidation of democracy (Diamond, 1999). In the field of mass communication studies, indeed the concept of public sphere has been made a sophisticated terr itory as evidenced in the array of related concepts such as biosphere, geosphere, noosphere, civil society, global public settings, and most importantly citizens’ empowerment (McChesney, 1999). All these concepts and more have already been thoroughly articulated twice at the beginning of this new mill ennium in a grand staging of the U.N.-sponsored WSIS (World Summit on Information Society), but nothing substantive to th e conduct of the world’s news media came out of it yet (Hamelink, 2006). As the constituent concepts of public sphere are st retched thus far, as in the case of citizens’ empowerment, one h as to wonder if the articulation of public sphere would have any impact at all to the media institutions while the management of t he media is effectively ignored or downplayed, especially about its primary reason for existence, namely money-making.

The World Development Report 2009 has a sub-title ‘reshaping the economic geography', whereas the Human Development Report has dealt on ‘fighting climate change, human solidarity in a divided world'. Both these documents have tried to disseminate a clear message about the interrelationship of geographical space and the human and natural processes, with special reference to functions and events associated in the contemporary world. The space is usually characterized by its elements of dimensionality, continuity, proximity and separation (NRC, 2006). Dimensions are components of a coordinate grid typically used to locate a point, line or area in a certain defined ‘space' as, for example, on the globe by latitude, longitude and elevation (X, Y and Z). In space-time, a coordinate grid that spans the 3+1 dimensions locates ‘events' (rather than just points in space), so time is added as another dimension to the grid, and another axis. This way, it is possible to plot where and when something is. Unlike in normal spatial coordinates, there are restrictions for how measurements can be made spatially and temporally. This is closely associated with the representation of events in the contextual ground of space and time. The representations can be made in a variety of modes and media (graphic [text, image or maps, and video], tactile, auditory, kinesthetic, and olfactory) to describe, explain, and communicate about the structure, operation, and function of objects and their relationships. Spatial thinking is not restricted to any domain of knowledge (NRC 2006).

Consequently, international news became the important feature of the dailies. Now, each Nepalese broadsheet daily has at least one page for the coverage of the international news obtained mainly through the news agencies: AP and AFP. In addition, large portion of sports, entertainment and biz stories come from these agencies. The corpus is enough to hint the importance of agency news. However, the subject matter has attracted very few researchers in Nepal. Only two studies are found on foreign news coverage in Nepali media (Adhikary, 2002, December 11; Kshetri, 2006). Acknowledging Nepali media's effort to localize and present separate but related news stories on few instances, Adhikary observes, \"the general trend in presenting international news in Nepali media is just copying news stories from international agencies.\" The latter study, based on one week's frequency and breadth of international news in Nepali broadsheet dailies (in a particular week after US invasion in Iraq), found that the news from there made almost 70% of the total coverage of the international news. In this study, I incorporate larger corpus and analyze the finding using the concept advanced by Franklin (2005), and discuss if the result, in anyway, can be taken as a prospect for McJournalism.
