Real journalism holds power accountable
Since 2015, The Wire has done just that.
But we can continue only with your support.
New Delhi: The Wire turned ten today (Sunday, May 11, 2025). It was a decade ago that we began our journey as a digital platform, committed to serving up good information, news, analysis and opinions.>
Its three founding editors, Sidharth Bhatia, Siddharth Varadarajan and M.K. Venu, were leading names in big media before taking the plunge and testing the waters in the digital sphere. What has evolved now is a platform in English, Hindi, Urdu and Telugu along with a YouTube channel drawing millions to it.>
We derive our strength from many things. Our sprightly team that is our workforce and brings The Wire to you, 24X7, at present and also those who have worked for us in the past. But The Wire is also the larger ecosystem of fellow-independent media and others who work in the creative space, both fact and fiction. People with whom we share values in the ultimate objective towards interpreting monumental changes in India and the world.>
On Monday (May 12, 2025), at New Delhi’s Jawahar Bhawan at 5 pm we are marking the first of many discussions we hope to hold in the year, centred around the challenges of speaking the truth through film.>
Directors Dibakar Banerjee, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Alankrita Shrivastava, actors Shahana Goswami and Shashank Arora, and documentary film-maker Vani Subramanian will be in discussion with The Wire’s Deputy Editor Jahnavi Sen.>
Those in Delhi, do come, the closest metro station is Central Secretariat.>
It is about A Decade of Living Dangerously: Pressing Unmute in Naya India. We look forward to catching you there.>
