FAQ
FAQ on protest journalists
How this directory relates to the full timeline and Voices of solidarity.
Who is listed on this journalists page?
An independent directory of 20 journalists, creators, and small digital outlets who actively covered the CJP / Jantar Mantar student protest — including News Pinch, Ajit Anjum, Samdish Bhatia, Peek TV, Strike Originals, The Red Mike, and others. It is not a complete census of all reporters who filed from the site.
Also on this site
How is this different from the Voices page?
Voices lists public figures who supported or visited the protest (celebrities, politicians, activists). This page lists reporters and small digital outlets who covered the sit-in as journalism — profile links and sourced coverage notes, not solidarity endorsements.
Also on this site
Is this site affiliated with these journalists?
No. This is independent documentation. Listing someone does not mean endorsement of their views, nor affiliation with CJP, any party, or any government. Contested or incomplete profiles are marked cautiously.
