Using the best of knowledge from academia, public policy, research and work on the ground, our coverage cuts through the noise and presents well-researched, simply presented and informed journalism on developmental issues for the youth. </span></p> 616<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To submit a pitch or article, click </span><a href="../collaborate-with-us/">here</a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to read our submission guidelines.

Given the decline of free and fair media outlets, our sponsors recognize that monetarily supporting </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Bastionâ</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">s brand of solution-oriented, well-researched journalism via an independent article or series strengthens Indiaâs media ecosystem at large.

Over the years, multiple stakeholders have tried to steer India towards better governance, standards of living and overall prosperity. As they embark on this mission, aided by academics, public policy experts and civil society alike, it is important to ask a few questions. How do we plan to develop the country? Why one policy approach over another? Who benefits from your governance in the long run?</span></p> 621<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These questions excite us and we attempt to make sense of these every day at </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Bastion</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Our work attempts to make the ever-present debates on growth, governance, and development accessible to you. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br/> 622</span></p> 623<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is also the fact that in recent times, the race to disseminate eye-catching news has resulted in the swift decline of well-researched and informed opinions available in the Indian media. This is precisely where we hope to come in. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">With the intention of promoting well-informed conversation free of censorship and echo-chambers, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Bastion</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> prioritizes research-backed journalism over and above anything else.</span></p> 624<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By doing so, we aim to bring you India-centric stories that may not always make it to prime time television or the front pages of newspapers, but nevertheless lie at the core of the nationâs future growth and success. </span></p> 625</div> 626</div></div></div></div><div class="vc_column tdi_10 wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span4"> 627<style scoped>.tdi_10{vertical-align:middle}.tdi_10>.wpb_wrapper,.tdi_10>.wpb_wrapper>.tdc-elements{display:block}.tdi_10>.wpb_wrapper>.tdc-elements{width:100%}.tdi_10>.wpb_wrapper>.vc_row_inner{width:auto}.tdi_10>.wpb_wrapper{width:auto;height:auto}.tdi_10{margin-top:-50px!important}</style><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="wpb_wrapper td_block_wrap vc_widget_sidebar tdi_12 ">
