This entails relying heavily on donations from readers and concerned individuals who have no other motivation than to support a venue for high-quality journalism.
History[edit]
On 07 Oct 2014, NYZ was started by Rahul CB and Siddharth Varadarajan who had funded the website. The Independent and Public Spirited Media Foundation[2] has provided NYZ News with funding as well.
