Credence: The Formation

India's population as of 2023 stands at a strong 1430 Million, whereas the Country's Journalism and Free Press rankings stands at a shocking 142 as per RSF (Reporters Without Borders) The number questions our respect to Ethical Journalism and our Government's role in giving Press the freedom it requires to thrive. This may be not rightly presented and always stay debatable within the regimes as it did not stand a chance in any regimes in India.

Largely Indian media like any other free and developed democracy is free and has been working in self-control mechanism for decades now. Media is changing colors from historical ways to new-age evolving technology, which is playing a pivotal role in its changing dynamics along with News consumption becoming faster than finishing a cup of tea although enjoyed together from beginning of the print era. The overall time it takes to gain information has significantly reduced with the advent of technological developments.

Need for a Pragmatic Journalism foundation

Free and fair Journalism with no threats takes an important place in both developed and developing economies where your country allows you to report opinions and news freely. This is possible when news organizations are not based on private funding but largely generating funds from the Public in the form of ‘crowd funding’ creating bigger and better News parlors in the country.

Most of the news is pressurized by the big and mighty, either they are owned by them or are given advertising business to take control of output and practice unfair means. On the other hand Highly Ethical Organizations like ourselves, we aim to create and dwell into news verticals like News Website divisions, managing Television News channels and creating large-scale news social handles to raise the voice of the public for the country and to protect the values of Press Freedom as well as the well-being of our Nation's esteemed Journalists and Journalism.
