Our Writing Journey
Six years of building India's premier platform for news writing education and professional journalism development
The Beginning
Founded with a clear mission to bridge the gap between traditional journalism education and the real-world demands of modern news outlets. We started in a small office in Ludhiana, Punjab, with three experienced journalists who noticed something troubling in the industry.
- Launched first curriculum focused on digital-first news writing
- Established partnerships with five regional news outlets
- Created foundational courses for fact-checking and source verification
- Developed our signature approach to deadline-driven writing workshops
Growing Recognition
The pandemic changed everything for media consumption, and we adapted quickly. Our remote learning programs became essential for working journalists who needed to upgrade their digital storytelling skills without leaving their newsrooms.
- Expanded to serve 12 states across India
- Introduced specialized training for investigative reporting
- Developed mobile journalism certification programs
- Created industry mentorship network with 40+ senior editors
Current Impact
Today, we're proud to see our graduates working in major newsrooms across the country. But what really matters to us is hearing from editors who tell us they can immediately spot a writer who's been through our programs – not just because of technical skills, but because of the ethical foundation we emphasize.
- Over 1,200 professionals trained in modern journalism practices
- Active collaboration with 25+ news organizations nationwide
- Specialized programs for regional language news outlets
- Research initiative on misinformation and media literacy
Why We Started Nrribtex
The story begins with a simple observation that kept bothering us. Talented writers were graduating from journalism programs but struggling to adapt to the fast-paced, fact-checking intensive environment of modern newsrooms. Meanwhile, seasoned journalists were finding themselves unprepared for digital storytelling formats.
We decided to create something different – not another theoretical journalism course, but a hands-on training ground that mirrors actual newsroom conditions. Every exercise we design is based on real scenarios our industry partners have shared with us.
Looking Forward
The media landscape continues changing at breakneck speed, and we're constantly evolving our approach to keep pace. Our focus for the next few years centers on preparing journalists for an increasingly complex information environment.
- Advanced AI-assisted reporting tools and ethical guidelines for their use
- Cross-platform storytelling techniques for multimedia news delivery
- Community engagement strategies for local news organizations
- Specialized training for covering climate change and social justice topics
- International collaboration programs with journalism schools globally
