Newslaundry is an Indian media watchdog[1] that provides media critique, reportage and satirical commentary.[2] It was founded in 2012 by Abhinandan Sekhri, Madhu Trehan and Prashant Sareen, all of whom earlier worked in print or television journalism.[3] It was India's first subscription-driven website when launched, and since then other platforms have followed a similar model.[4] In contrast to news websites such as The Wire, The Quint, ThePrint or Scroll.in, Newslaundry solely relies on public subscriptions, instead of donations or advertisements, for revenue.[5]

In 2015, executive editor Manisha Pande and Sandeep Pai reported on how politicians misuse the public sector undertakings in India.[6] Their work won the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Award for investigative reporting.[7] The platform also hosts podcasts dedicated to politics, culture and entertainment.[8][9]
