About Me

Journalist 

Hi! I'm Akrit [      ]

 

Raised in New Delhi, India, in a house full of teachers, I have always had a special relationship with the spoken and written word. 

​

I like the news. I love how it is gathered, written, spread and consumed. 

My interests in journalism include digital production, video editing, data journalism and audio storytelling.

​

As a storyteller, I am constantly fascinated by the ways in which we consume media in our lives, and am always striving to be at the helm of this disruption.
