News That Matters Not (NTMN) is a news satire and social commentary website
based in India. A popular voice for the Indian youth,
it is known to
publish sarcasm, criticism, satire and the like, usually in the form of humorous
news parody. It targets the media, politics, life and society among other
entities of the world. This service is mainly for the youth and other various
components of the society who have a penchant for reading purposeful and
critical satire. It is one of the oldest of all such popular websites in India,
which still exist very actively. It is a well-known method to voice out
criticism and social concerns through writing.
The Jury appreciated that the website NTMN is unique and it has taken news
satire beyond fake news. It was also noted that the website has also created
value by providing a popular writing platform for the youth in India and also
providing an internship program that features dedicated training in writing and
editing, on an individual basis. The Jury observed that the NTMN is a unique
work by students and therefore the student readers are able to identify and
connect very easily.
