No Paywalls, No Algorithms — How do we do it?
We know you get a lot of requests for support from us and you deserve an explanation for why we do this.
Good journalism costs real money because it takes talented people. Technology helps a little bit (and costs a lot), but there is no substitute for real reporting skills.
So, how do we pay for our journalism? Not too long ago, advertising helped sustain newsrooms. Today, Less than 20% of our income comes from advertisements.
We depend on readers like you to keep us going.
In a world full of digital noise, we stay focused on building community through stories for the Indian diaspora.
