Projects

I collaborate with academics, journalists, as well as organisations working on issues of civic rights and social justice to produce data-informed and research-backed knowledge and editorial products.

Select projects are listed here:

Report

Gender representation in Indian news media

Gender x Media x Representation

I led the data research, analysis and development of UN Women’s report on gender representation in Indian newsrooms for 2020, in collaboration with Newslaundry. The report tracked the content published on various media houses - across print, TV and digital - over twelve months, and found that men got a disproportionate amount of bylines and voice in Indian mainstream media.
