As students of global politics, finding authentic sources was crucial to us and we wanted to create a platform that provides such unbiased news,” Roy says. The objective is to look at a diverse range of sources, from newspapers to news agencies, opinion columns and Twitter, to find out topics and report them accurately. “We also try to run background checks on our writers to make sure that the content is not offensive and remains unbiased. I think one way to be sure of the content is through evidence-based research,”  Thenthamizh says.

The trio also realises the importance of having a social media footprint and its role in shaping the news. “Instagram is also one of our main platforms, since it’s essential for communication; content is not just limited to article writing,” explains Chatterjee. The main goal for the group at the moment is to widen and diversify their team with more content creators and soon expand to videography, poetry and art to amplify the voice of the youth.
