Delhi Post Information

Delhi Post (DP) is a digital media start-up. DP is published by the Institute of Poverty and Governance (IPG) – an independent, not-for- profit and non-partisan organisation based in New Delhi. The declining trend of print media is the fact; yet this does not spell the end of journalism. However, media is increasingly shifting to new medium; for example, the post-war era saw the emergence of electronic and broadcast media, whereas the 21st century is marked with the trend of digital news media and web news portals. The steady increase of digital journalism finds its space amongst internet users who are growing at breathtaking rate. At present, India has the second largest internet users’ base in the world, and it is fast growing. News media has its own place in a democracy. It can best fulfil its functions in a democracy if there is a rich and pluralistic information environment that is easily available to all citizens. There are already good numbers of web news portals in India. However, the idea behind the Delhi Post is to combine the mainstream trend with alternative and innovative approaches in the new media arena. DP will offer resilient approaches by combining development sector issues with mainstream news, insights, and politics. We do not support any political parties or candidates. We do not support directly or indirectly any party political campaigns or party activities in any form.
