In a post on LinkedIn, publisher Vandana Kumar said: “Finalists in ELEVEN categories!! 🎉
We don’t yet know what we’ll take home, but being named alongside so many outstanding organizations is already a huge win.
I often describe India Currents as the Little Engine That Could—a small but mighty newsroom with a powerful mission.
Grateful for the acknowledgment from the California News Publishers Association Journalism Awards!”
Congratulations to the India Currents team for this amazing effort!
