Event date:
Venue:
The Migration Story is a newsroom based in India, with a wide network of journalists and media workers across the country. The newsroom aims to capture the journeys and challenges of India’s vast migrant workforce. It documents their ever-growing vulnerabilities owing to climate change and rising rural distress, while exploring solutions for the future. Through consistent reportage and innovative storytelling, the portal aims to mainstream migrant matters and build a repository of research and data on the subject.

During the newsroom visit, you will meet:

  • Roli Srivastava, Founder
  • Anuradha Nagaraj, Founder
  • Aishwarya Mohanty, Special Correspondent
  • Sanshey Biswas, Video and Multimedia Consultant

The team will focus on the portal’s live event project – Groundswell – a solutions-focused convening held in June this year in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand. Planned as an annual convening, the event aims to foster a community of like-minded people and organisations to work towards policy inclusion of migrants and building safer migration and workplace practices, with an aim to create a more equitable space for them.


What are the Virtual Newsroom Visits?

Virtual Newsroom Visits – a series of virtual live events, open to the wider public and promoted in our IPI members’ network, as well as the IPI’s Local News and Innovation Network. In the series, we invite experienced, innovative independent media organisations to share the BTS of their media business. These first-hand stories serve as a resource and inspiration for other journalism organisations striving to make a positive impact in their communities.

The broader goal is to level up the floor of the industry’s understanding and knowledge and create opportunities for exchange, helping our peers to do the best journalism for our communities. We now open the 5th season of IPI’s newsroom visits, organised as part of IPI’s Local News & Innovation Network, which hosts our Slack community for peer-to-peer discussion.
