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 c***ected 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.
