Core Values of The Chennai Emailer
š„ Community:
I love Chennaiāitās my home, and thereās something incredibly inspiring about the people here. Through The Chennai Emailer, I want to highlight fellow residents who are making a real differenceāwhether through their businesses or social initiatives that tackle everyday challenges. At the heart of it, I stand by the values of our Constitution and believe in shining a light on those who live by it too.
šļø Empathy:
For me, empathy is the key to understanding people better. Chennai is a diverse city with rich cultural textures, and thatās what makes it such a great place to live. Respecting these differences, and seeing things from new perspectives, is something I hold close.
šš¼ Kindness:
I truly believe in the power of kindness, both online and offline. If we approach things with decency and respect, especially on social media, we can create real change. I always strive to keep communicationāwhether with the people I profile or my readersācourteous and direct.
š° Sustainable Journalism:
I aim for The Chennai Emailer to be a community-supported platform, earning its revenue through reader subscriptions and sponsorships. But the weekly news summaries? Theyāll always be free. For those who want to support my work further, donations are welcome.
š° Correction Policy:
Accuracy matters. If my team of contributing writers and myself ever get something wrong in our reportage, we promise to fix it as soon as possible. Iām always open to feedback, ideas, and suggestions from you (Email: [email protected]). At the same time, I reserve the right to turn down any submissions that donāt meet our editorial standards. Iām inspired by the work done by Trusting News and its guiding principles which I aim to implement at the Chennai Emailer to build a community of loyal readers.
š” Inspiration:
There are so many fantastic journalism platforms around the world creating meaningful impact, and I find a lot of inspiration in them. From The Mylapore Times and Citizen Matters to Axios and The MillāI look to these pioneers as models for what The Chennai Emailer can become; a digital-first product that aims to solve local information problems faced by Chennaiites.Ā
