Lighthouse Journalism, a crowdfunding platform to showcase and bring to light stories that are otherwise ignored or under-reported in mainstream media, was launched on the occasion of India’s 75th Independence Day. The project leverages community building, technology and crowdfunding to achieve its goals. Sanjay Sindhwani, CEO of indianexpress.com said Lighthouse Journalism will change the way communities identify changemakers and publicise their achievements. “It will also throw light on issues and themes which have been ignored so far using a unique crowd-funded model of journalism,” Sindhwani added. They can also popularise and invite crowdfunding for the project through social media.
