Mr.Pratik Pradhan the sub-editor of TheKathmandu Post and his team outlines which articles of the day's Kathmandu Post will appear on the cyberspace version of the newspaper. Considering that the Internet bandwidth costs (read as telecom costs) are still very high in Nepal and keeping in mind all the additional work which has to be done at Mercantile, Pratik limits the articles to those which cover issues on Nepal and its immediate neighbours and/or articles which he considers important. The articles are then uploaded to the computer at Mercantile Communications.

The uploaded files are then processed by the the team of five (Madhusudan Kayastha, Gauri S. Dangol, Sharmilee Amatya ,Mary Shrestha and Shalini Shori) who convert and format the articles into 'html' files. These files are then uploaded by the same team to the server columbia.digiweb.com to make it available on the net.

Note: Other than Mr. Pratik Pradhan, the sub-editor of the Kathmandu Post, no one exercises any editorial control over what appears on the cyberspace version of The Kathmandu Post.
