A germ that became a seed that in turn became a plant to be grown into a sizeable tree. That’s how whitedrums.com started. It is still a nurturing plant that has all the ingredients of a large tree that can last forever. 

The germ of the seed got implanted in the brains of the editor-in-chief Dhara Kothari, a professional writer based in Mumbai (Bombay). The germ grew out of frustration of not being able to print factual news and information for the readers. The lack of true democracy in journalism spurned the idea, the seed into starting an e-newspaper that is open to all to write and share news from any part of the universe. Journalistic news, reporting, photos, etc to be shared with one and all.  

That seed was own by the owner of whitedrums.com, Biren Shah, an equally enthusiastic man who made sure the sapling was nurtured into a plant that stands today.  

Now these members need your environmental support to help grow this plant into a tree. Come, write and support this plant by spreading the information and encouraging others to write and help the plant to grow into a fine, strong tree that can help the global community in the future.  

Citizen Journalism/Reporting is the future, come be a part of this huge tree of tomorrow.

Hello all,                                                                      
 
Media can be rather biased and they have their own reasons for it. Providing singular news has become rampart, since they have large organizations to sustain.
 
However, with technology comes an advantage that of providing news, views, etc., without being biased and without the need to be materialistic toying the lines of anyone.
 
Would you like to be part of such a democratic movement? Join in and share whatever you hear, find, photograph and experience right here on this site. Let the world know and understand the other without the fear of implications of any sort.
 
Be free, be heard and be read!
