Meridian House Media Network Trust
A New Delhi–based media trust established to own, govern, and safeguard independent editorial institutions serving the public interest.
An Institutional Publisher
Meridian House Media Network Trust is not a newsroom. It is the institutional steward behind newsrooms.
We exist to ensure that journalism under our care remains independent, ethically governed, and protected from political or commercial pressure — with continuity that outlasts individuals and cycles.
Our Publications
The Indian Dispatch
A national affairs and public-interest publication focused on governance, law, institutions, and accountability through reporting, analysis, and long-form editorial work.
The Frontier Dispatch
A regional and strategic publication reporting from frontier regions and under-represented geographies, with emphasis on security, development, and ground realities.
Mridhan
A reflective publication exploring culture, memory, heritage, and civilisational continuity through essays, archives, and slow journalism.
Editorial Independence Is Structural
Meridian House enforces a strict separation between ownership and editorial judgment, revenue and newsroom operations, and governance and daily reporting.
Editors are appointed for competence and integrity — not alignment. Editorial decisions remain free from interference by trustees, donors, advertisers, or external interests.
Standards and Ethics
All publications governed by Meridian House operate under a unified Editorial Charter covering verification, corrections, transparency, conflict-of-interest disclosure, and protection of sources and contributors.
Press and Accreditation
Meridian House issues official press credentials to editors, correspondents, and accredited contributors operating under its publications. Press identity is treated as a responsibility, subject to ethical compliance and periodic review.
Partnerships
Meridian House engages in select institutional partnerships aligned with its editorial mandate, public-interest objectives, and ethical framework. All partnerships are evaluated for independence, transparency, and long-term alignment.
Meridian House Media Network Trust is an institution for journalism — not a moment, not a platform, not a trend.
