Dear Readers,
We are in an era, where consumer is the king, but actually they face major traumatic condition, when the product or service goes wrong and their issues are not resolved. Even the issues are hardly covered by media, as they are not so relevant for people at large. Ultimately the consumer has to bear the loss of time, money and trauma. We have decided to stand with consumers and so we have started Consumer Journalism , where we will cover the smallest issue or problems faced by them. We invite all to send their grievances against product or service they purchased not delivering and unheard by the company on

New Delhi, India — In a significant move towards consumer empowerment, Our India.net, the country’s pioneering news portal, has unveiled its Consumer Journalism Initiative. This groundbreaking endeavor seeks to amplify the voices of consumers who find themselves ensnared by unscrupulous practices of corporations and businesses.
Why Consumer Journalism Matters
Consumer journalism is more than just reporting; it’s a mission to bring transparency, accountability, and justice to everyday citizens. Here’s why it matters:
Advocacy for the Vulnerable: Consumers often face an uphill battle when dealing with large corporations. Whether it’s faulty products, deceptive advertising, or unfair billing practices, consumers need a platform to share their experiences and seek redress.
Exposing Wrongdoings: Consumer journalists dig deep to uncover hidden truths. They investigate, verify, and present facts that empower consumers to make informed choices. By exposing malpractices, they hold companies accountable.
Bridge Between Consumers and Authorities: Our India.net’s initiative bridges the gap between consumers and regulatory bodies. It acts as a conduit, ensuring that consumer complaints reach the right channels for resolution.
How Our India.net’s Consumer Journalism Works
