Description

The Quint is a leading Indian digital news platform renowned for its high-quality, award-winning journalism that prioritizes depth, integrity, and impact.

Its journalists have secured prestigious accolades, including multiple Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards, RedInk Awards, WAN-IFRA South Asian Digital Media Awards, INMA Global Media Awards 2025, and recognitions in Human Rights and Religious Freedom Journalism Awards 2025.

This reflects strong journalism quality through rigorous, ground-reported enterprise stories, in-depth investigations, fact-checking via the IFCN-certified WebQoof unit, and multimedia excellence in documentaries, explainers, and visual storytelling.

The Quint emphasizes exclusive coverage via Special Projects — powerful long-form investigations, impactful documentaries (on urban walkability, public transport failures, hate crimes like 'Uncovering Hate', hijab bans, cow vigilantism), and series like 'Caught in the Middle' (middle-class issues), 'Naukri Crisis' and citizen journalism platform 'My Report'.

Exclusive shows and programs include video-heavy originals on YouTube, podcasts like 'The Big Story', and deep dives into social justice, policy, and underreported issues.

To sustain this independent, fearless reporting amid challenges, The Quint focuses on a reader-powered membership model. The Quint's Members gain ad-free access, paywalled premium content, exclusive goodie bags, opinion columns, and priority to unlimited stories, videos, and podcasts.

The Quint has a dedicated community that funds and champions its mission to "question everything" and deliver stories others avoid or miss — earning praise for reliability, depth, and real-world impact in India's evolving media landscape.

★☆☆☆☆ Shashwat Agarwal · Mar 29, 2021

Irrelevant news provision without facts...does division in communities...

★☆☆☆☆ ankit makwana · Feb 22, 2021

It's anti-national for india...quint shoud shame on themselves.

★☆☆☆☆ Omkar Patil · Aug 29, 2022

Biased news channel. Clear hinduphobia can be seen in the posts. Pathetic that they call themselves a news outlet.

★☆☆☆☆ ksh ssh · Jun 8, 2021

Highly leftist in thought and approach towards journalism. In fact, they publish more fake or twisted truth content just to make things look anti-conservative/rightist/nationalistic. Journalism is almost a religion but you guys perhaps don't have one.
