ABOUT - THE STORY MUG

About The Story Mug

The Story Mug is an independent digital publication based in Guwahati, Assam. Launched in 2018 by journalist Partha Prawal Goswami, it was founded to create a dedicated platform for alternative, thoughtful storytelling from Northeast India and beyond.

Our mission is to document, examine, and present developments with clarity and editorial independence. We aim to highlight the “lesser-told stories,” promote emerging talents, and offer nuanced perspectives that often remain sidelined in mainstream media.

Our Values

Editorial independence, free from corporate or political ownership
Commitment to factual accuracy, proper sourcing, and transparency
Thoughtful, human-centric journalism with constructive discourse
Support for new voices and alternative narratives from the Northeast

This platform was founded by Partha Prawal Goswami, a Guwahati-based journalist covering entertainment, sports, social issues, culture, and Northeast affairs. He is a recipient of the Laadli Media and Advertising Award (2012) for his reporting on gender issues (including witch-hunting in Assam). He is passionate about photography, travel, and storytelling in both English and Assamese. He also writes fiction and has authored novels such as Autobiography of a Paedophile and The Quarantine Selfie.

All submissions to The Story Mug undergo editorial review. We welcome thoughtful pitches aligned with our focus areas. We are committed to transparency and correcting errors promptly with a note. As a small independent platform, we operate with limited resources and are focused on sustainable growth.

For story pitches, collaborations, partnerships, feedback, or editorial queries, please email us at:
thestorymug@gmail.com. Your readership, shares, and contributions help strengthen independent voices from the Northeast.
