In the age of pandemic, when everyone’s newsfeed is being constantly bombarded with grave happenings around the world, it’s no wonder the youth feels overwhelmed. However, The Indian Idiot, a popular youth community, is drawing the spotlight with its innovative ideas of publishing news for the younger audience.
Six years into building a community, The Indian Idiot strongly holds a fan- following of over 750k on Instagram and 1.2 mn on Facebook. It's recent initiative, ‘News you may or may not have missed today’ started out as an idea to create an easy-to-digest newspaper for students on social media. The curated news comes in a fun, positive, and byte-sized version so that it feels like a story being told by your friend with pop culture and meme references. Even the heavy and hard- hitting news is covered with a sense of sensitivity, which makes it easier to consume.
