| A new growth area for foreign reporting: podcasts? With reporters in-country, GroundTruth hopes so http://bit.ly/1SLAEyQ |
GroundTruth was founded byCharles Sennott, the former cofounder of GlobalPost (and a former Nieman fellow). He spun off the project as a separate nonprofit entity in 2012 and the company moved its base to Boston’s WGBH in 2014. (GlobalPost was sold to WGBH’s Public Radio International last year and its other cofounder, Philip Balboni, has gone on to launch an email newsletter focused on international news.)
GroundTruth is about to undertake a large initiative to cover the human consequences of climate change — climate change is affecting, for instance, sex trafficking and urban design — and, as part of that, they’ll launch a climate change podcast series, with episodes released in close succession. WGBH and GroundTruth will also host a live event version of “From Syria with Baklava” on June 2, open to the public and featuring a listening session, discussion with the producers, and food.

India’s digital media startups are aiming to outcompete Western news companies http://bit.ly/1YDRJye
| Article written by Hasit Shah is a former Nieman-Berkman Fellow in Journalism Innovation who writes the Digital India newsletter. |

| As India’s digital media market continues to grow, there’s been alot of attention paid to the American companies who have set up operations in the country —BuzzFeed, The Huffington Post,Quartz, and others have been slowly expanding since their arrival in the last couple of years. It’s not easy to do well there. |
|
|
| But some of the most successful homegrown Indian digital startups, while not as well known in the U.S., have enjoyed far more impressive growth than their foreign competitors and are now showing clear signs of becoming mature media companies. India has an estimated 300 million Internet users and, although digital advertising there is relatively low in value, it has plenty of room to grow. |
|
|
| ScoopWhoop is also moving into news, hiring a dozen journalists and building, separately, a team that has begun to produce edgy, Vice-style documentaries about difficult, contemporary Indian subjects. |
|
|
| Now MissMalini is a digital magazine and media house, based in northern Mumbai, with 25 full-time employees. The office has four separate Internet connections plus a 4G dongle — insurance against India’s occasionally unreliable connectivity. It has a largely young, female audience — 4 million unique monthly users to its main website — that is attracted to its mix of Bollywood gossip, fashion, and lifestyle content. |
