Deepal Trivedi
After working in the print medium for over three decades, Deepal Trivedi, former editor of Ahmedabad Mirror, will soon be launching a digital news website under her recently launched venture Virago Media Pvt Ltd. The multilingual website will be available in English, Hindi, and Gujarati and will have a website and a mobile app. She later plans to enter into the OTT and book publishing space as well.
âWe are not going to be hankering after normal breaking news. We are going to follow a format of a good narrative, investigative, interview-based, long reads. While Gujarat is the epicentre of news, there is no such professionally-run comprehensive website. In the present context, I don t see any English digital media doing enough justice to Gujarat and stories originating from here. However, the contextual subtext of our stories would not just be Gujarat, it would have an impact beyond Gujarat,â she said.
