#NARRATIVEPRACTICES #JOURNALISM #GENDERINMEDIA
I have over 15 years of experience in the field of journalism, publishing, digital content and narrative practices. I have worked with the leading newspapers in India as a features correspondent, editor and commissioning editor. As a writer, I covered culture extensively, writing about books, music, cinema, art, for over a decade. Since moving away from journalism in 2020, I have engaged in independent research for non-fiction books, worked as a developmental editor for fiction projects, and conducted research for a unique study on misinformation and disinformation during elections in South Asia and Southeast Asia.
