DIGIPUB NEWS INDIA FOUNDATION


WHO WE ARE

The DIGIPUB News India Foundation has been formed by digital media organisations
with the intent to help ensure the creation of a healthy and robust news
ecosystem for the digital age. The aim is to build a platform that represents
digital news media organisations, with its membership open to digital-only
ventures, as well as media commentators and independent journalists active in
the digital news space.

Despite the growth of digital-only news organisations in India, there is no
single body representing the country’s digital news ecosystem. DIGIPUB News
India Foundation aims to represent, amplify and evolve best practices that are
independent and upholds the highest standards of journalism. The digital news
ecosystem includes current issues, analysis, commentaries in any form: text,
videos, animations, graphic stories, etc.

One of the aims of the Foundation is to underline the fact that the pursuits and
interests of legacy media may not always be the same as that of digital media –
especially in regards to regulation, business models, technology and structures.
DIGIPUB News India Foundation has been created to address the need for an
organization to represent the interests of digital-only news media.

One of the key defining aspects of the Foundation is that it does not believe
that only organisations should represent or voice the needs of the digital news
ecosystem. It is imperative to recognize the contribution of independent
journalists informing the bulwark of this digital ecosystem. Membership to the
DIGIPUB News India Foundation is also open to independent/freelance journalists
and commentators who work in the digital news space.

The Foundation hopes to take the best practices from legacy media and hone these
to specifically meet the needs of digital media. DIGIPUB News India Foundation
looks forward to the support and collaboration of journalists, entrepreneurs,
news professionals and news consumers, to nurture an organisation which will
represent, define and protect this digital-only news ecosystem
