Happy 8 Years To The Quint, Happy 8 Years To YOU!

Dear Reader,

Year after year, we at The Quint have made a concerted effort to sharpen our editorial to bring you brave, well-informed, varied, and impactful journalism.

We have tried to lead conversations on topics that matter – and bring you unheard voices, humanise big events, and propel change.

Today, as we?celebrate our 8th birthday , our efforts were rewarded at the WAN-IFRA South Asian Digital Media Awards. We took home the coveted?Champion Publisher of the Year?award and a?GOLD for the Best News Website, along with?five other awards for our stories.

Support us and become a Quint Member*.

*Already a member of The Quint? What a star! Your support helps us do what we do better.

The award recognises South Asian publishers who have delivered unique and original digital media projects in the last 12 months – and we are ecstatic to be among the best.

But our greater cause of celebration is you. It is your feedback mails, comments on our YouTube videos, interactions with us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram that encourage us every single day to become a better version of ourselves.

Over the last 8 years, all of us at The Quint, along with you, our readers, have been driven by the truth. We have reported on hundreds of stories, and each time, we have tried our best to bring out the truth. From politics to gender, from climate change to casteism, from communal violence to human rights – we have brought you the truth from all over India.

And it has not been easy. Reporters have, at times, put their lives at risk. Often, these stories and projects have taken time, have involved extensive travel and related costs. We have dealt with legal hurdles placed by those affected by our pursuit of truth.

As we now enter our 9th year, we'll continue to stay true to you – and be answerable only to you. And so, we need you now more than ever.?Pay to support and empower our journalism . It is you who can continue to ensure that these stories are heard – and that journalism is kept independent, as it should be.

Become a member ?and join our community of loyal readers who are standing by us, with us on this journey.

Happy 8 years to The Quint, happy 8 years to YOU!

Thanks,

SHELLY WALIA
