Manpreet Singh
Although Manpreet Singh is best known as an SBS radio broadcaster in Australia, her work across all platforms of journalism — newspapers, radio, magazines, television and online – have earned her widespread respect and recognition in Australia and beyond.
She has made a significant contribution in areas of social justice, cultural cohesion and multiculturalism, and has provided a strong platform for informed public debate on topical matters. Her work is not only helping to preserve the history of Indian arrival into Australia, but is aiding more recent Indian arrivals build their identity as Australian Indians.
Many of her written articles have been published in newspapers, magazines and websites of international repute.
Over the last 10 years, her work has been chosen as a finalist at the UN Media Peace Awards on four separate occasions, in categories like promotion of multicultural issues, increasing awareness of women’s rights and issues, and promotion of positive images of the older person. She is the only multicultural media journalist in Australia to achieve this.
In January 2013, along the sidelines of the Pravasi Bhartiya Diwas in Kochi, she was one of 11 people chosen from around the world, to receive the GOPIO Community Service Award, from the Global organization of People of Indian Origin.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
