Support Us

Support for EELA INDIA can come in many forms. The simplest and most powerful ways are by subscribing to our platforms, regularly reading and sharing our stories, and actively engaging with our reports and our journalists. Every subscription, every share, and every meaningful interaction helps us continue our work as an independent news organisation committed to public interest.

In addition to this, support can also mean standing behind us when it matters most. Journalists often work in difficult or high-risk environments. In such situations, help in the form of legal aid, safety assistance, and public solidarity becomes crucial. By supporting our right to report freely and safely, you help protect independent journalism itself.

Engage with our content

Spend time with the stories we publish: read, watch, and listen. Share EELA INDIA’s work with friends, family, and your networks so that important stories reach more people.
Follow our official social media accounts, comment thoughtfully, and take part in discussions. Whenever we host events—online or offline—your participation and feedback help us understand what matters to you and how we can serve you better.

Start local efforts

If you feel that news from your area is missing in mainstream coverage, you can become a bridge between your community and EELA INDIA.
Send us your local news, issues, or stories—whether it is about governance, social justice, environment, education, or everyday civic problems. By sharing verified information, documents, photos, or leads, you help us highlight voices and concerns that might otherwise remain unheard.

Advocate for trust

In a time of misinformation and fake news, trust in journalism must be protected. You can support EELA INDIA and other organisations that participate in or follow standards similar to initiatives like The Trust Project, which encourage news outlets to show their integrity, transparency, and editorial rigor to the public.
Talk to others about the importance of credible sources, responsible reporting, and independent media. When you see our work being misrepresented or attacked unfairly, your voice in our support makes a difference.

Support individual journalists

Behind every report are real people—reporters, editors, camera persons, and fact-checkers—who invest time, effort, and often personal risk in bringing you the truth.
You can support them directly:

  • Thank them for their stories,

  • Send constructive feedback,

  • Recognise their efforts on social media,

  • And stand by them when they face pressure or intimidation.

Small gestures of appreciation can go a long way in encouraging ethical and fearless journalism.

Know your rights

A strong democracy needs citizens who understand their rights—and that includes knowing the legal protections available to journalists and the press.
By being aware of these protections, you are better equipped to:

  • Recognise when media freedom is under threat,

  • Support journalists facing legal or physical risks, and

  • Advocate for better laws and safeguards where needed.

In any situation—whether it involves protests, public-interest investigations, or sensitive stories—an informed public that knows its own rights and the rights of journalists is essential for the survival of independent media like EELA INDIA.
