History[edit]
As reported in Tech Crunch, Pahwa, an Indian blogger who was working at contentSutra (now PaidContent.org) quit in 2008 and moved on to start MediaNama, a rival in the same domain.[1][4] He continues to be the editor of MediaNama.[5] Apart from covering news on commercial enterprises, MediaNama also has a history of reporting on media trends and government policies in India pertaining to censorship and digital expression. The portal reported a story on Times Private Treaties, which was cited in the Press Council of India's report on "paid news".[6] They also made submissions to the Standing Committee on Information Technology in 2013 regarding the issue of paid news.[7]
#NAMA[edit]
In 2012, MediaNama organized its first conference, #NAMA around digital media businesses in Gurgaon.[8] The second #NAMA conference was scheduled to be held in Mumbai in June, 2013 but was cancelled due to bad weather.[9]
