Investigative Journalism in Kerala: A Pillar of Truth, Strengthened by BMA
Investigative journalism has long been the backbone of Kerala’s democratic integrity. From exposing corruption to unveiling environmental violations and championing human rights, journalists in Kerala have continuously stepped into the unknown, often at great personal risk. Their work has challenged powerful institutions, shaped public discourse, and sparked critical reforms.
But behind the headlines lie stories of struggle threats, isolation, financial instability, and lack of legal protection. Many journalists who courageously uncover the truth do so without the backing or safety nets they deserve.
This is where the Bharat Media Association (BMA) steps in.
