About The MEAN in Athwaline, Surat

Friday5 endeavor to do different journalism to seek new definitions of news—by going beyond covering an event, a meeting, or a controversy. We try to share knowledge, not just news developments. It's about covering consensus as well as conflict, success stories as well as failures—stories that may help the common man deal with difficult issues. Against this backdrop, our endeavor aims at being different from anything people are writing (or reading) in the cyber age. All our issues tell personal and unique stories. While a considerable section of the media profitably lights fireworks on behalf of paid-media, we dared to and would continue daring to explore beyond the dazzle—to the ever-deeper darkness into which millions of lives daily sink. It is our mission to expose all evil practices eating into the vitals of society so that they remain a theoretical topic and never become a reality—and we would continue to strive to shape society's understanding.
