The Hindu’s West Bengal correspondent Shiv Sahay Singh won the Ramnath Goenka award in the “Uncovering India Invisible” category.
This was awarded for his 2019 story “Death by Digital Exclusion”.
The story exposed how the Jharkhand government’s insistence on digitization deprived people living on the margins of the benefits of the public distribution system (PDS).
Tridip K Mandal of The Quint is the broadcast media winner under the same category.
