Sonia Singh, Editorial Director, NDTV, was awarded Lifetime Achievement Award at ENBA 2022.

Singh has been associated with NDTV for over three decades. She joined NDTV in 1992 as a researcher when it produced the show-The World This Week for Doordarshan

In her career spanning over three decades, Singh has reported and led the coverage & analysis of every major news event in India, from eight general elections to the Kargil war & many more. She is also known for her show ‘The NDTV Dialogues’

Speaking about the big win, Singh said, “It's extremely humbling to get this award. I began my career when India had no independent news channels, and today, we have 400 news channels. So, what a fantastic journey Indian media journalism has had. When we look at what the problems are in the Indian media, I think all of us need to applaud ourselves for how far we have come today. “

“I think Indian media is the most independent and most free; definitely the loudest and most vibrant in the world. So, we need to be very proud of that. Though I am not retiring, it's the time when I'm looking at getting off the 24x7 treadmill of news and focusing on special shows.”

Singh also said that every journalist needs to remember that “we do news to inspire, illuminate and to inform and if we are not doing those three things then we are doing injustice to the people of India.”
