Yesterday, an article on Buzzfeed introduced a new dimension to the concept of urban poverty. These are twenty-somethings who “spend a majority of their salaries on keeping up the lifestyles and appearances that they believe are essential to earning those salaries.” Eternally sensitive as we are, we at Newslaundry did our bit to empathise with this problem.
The media must be free and fair, uninfluenced by corporate or state interests. That's why you, the public, need to pay to keep news free.
ContributeGeneral elections are around the corner, and Newslaundry and The News Minute have ambitious plans together to focus on the issues that really matter to the voter. From political funding to battleground states, media coverage to 10 years of Modi, choose a project you would like to support and power our journalism.
Ground reportage is central to public interest journalism. Only readers like you can make it possible. Will you?
