Summary of this article
- For three decades, and especially through the last 13 years of industry disruption and the COVID pandemic, Outlook survived by refusing to compromise on editorial independence, credibility, and journalistic values
- Outlook’s shift to a digital-first strategy proved that reinvention is possible without abandoning the brand’s irreverent DNA
- By dismantling patriarchal newsroom norms, Outlook reshaped not just its content but the culture of leadership in Indian media.
It was in 2012 when I walked into the Delhi Outlook Magazine office and realised that this was a place that was throbbing with a rare energy that newsrooms are known for and I knew I’d always keep that intact. To be on the other side of a media organisation is a difficult road to navigate and yet, it comes with a unique fulfilment that I have felt often as I have defended the editorial freedom and integrity as the CEO. |
