News connects us to the rest of the world, shapes our opinions, makes us concerned, helps us take awareness of our habits and privileges, promotes empathy, and just keeps everyone connected. And it's only fair that we have access to facts and true figures. Indian readership has majorly been newspapers, and the present time has seen a shift to e-papers or digital media outlets that either take sides or bombard you with information. Lakshmi Chaudhry recognised this and based on her rich experience running FirstPost & Broadsheet, launched a newsletter format portal-Splainer Media. Lakshmi and her team go through numerous reports and bring to you the most important stories in a very chewable read with adequate segments that serve as a side dish and dessert to make your news assimilation experience more positive and endearing. Listen in to her speak to Gauri Devidayal about her Journalism journey, the lessons gained from observing the evolution of news media, her pet peeves when it comes to how news is presented, and how she intends to make a difference.
