Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Because the truth is worth it. The Quint is India’s fastest-growing pure-play digital news and views platform. Mobile-first and highly interactive, we bring a distinctive combination of compelling, credible, and community-driven journalism blended with innovative, visually powerful storytelling formats — to deliver incisive takes on politics, policy, gender, law, entertainment, sports, health and wellness, web culture, and more. Why download The Quint: We periodically take stock of topics, issues, and causes that are relevant to the times we live in. We lead conversations on issues that matter and bring you unheard voices, humanise big events, and propel change. We are participative in our approach to newsgathering — with a robust citizen journalism vertical, My Report — and we partner with our readers in our hunt for fake news through our WebQoof vertical. We are certified by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN). Our Special Projects: These are powerful documentaries, impactful long-form investigative reports, and deep dives into issues of social and national interest. Our journalists often risk their lives and health to cover these stories. Our membership community: Our Special Projects, investigations, and fact-checks make us stand out in the clutter. But producing these stories takes up time, resources, and risks borne by our on-ground reporters. By financially empowering us, Quint Members help us meet our production targets, ensure that these stories are heard, and keep independent journalism alive. The Quint World: This is a special offering for our international audiences, which focuses on stories that impact the Indian diaspora. While it brings content from home to Indians across the globe, the extensive coverage and features are about everything that concerns the Indian diaspora. Becoming your voice: We are a platform for marginalised and diverse voices and strive to bring stories from India’s most remote corners. Our journalism aims to be extensive, yet inclusive; hard-hitting, yet sensitive.
