The northeastern region comprising the eight states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura has long been a paradox in today’s narrative of India. The region connected by what is called the “chicken’s neck” with the rest of India, has been on the map but off the mind for most people outside. The so-called “mainstream” media’s coverage of the region ha
s largely been confined to conflicts, rise of insurgent groups, economic neglect, lack of infrastructure and political instabilities. What remains conveniently ignored is that the region is a biodiversity hotspot, a cultural laboratory with 220 ethnic groups and equal number of dialects, a paradise for tourists, home to some of the most friendly and hospitable people in the country, and a vital bridge to the booming economy of Southeast Asia. This is precisely the gap that My News NE fills. Powered by a group of veteran journalists spread across the nook and corner of the Northeast, It’s a multilingual 24X7 news portal that covers news about the region under a positive light.
