Amid the crowded digital media space, VoM News has emerged as a beacon of responsible journalism, rooted deeply in the ethos of Jammu & Kashmir. What began as a modest local portal in Doda’s Marmat region has now become a trusted voice for communities across the Chenab Valley and beyond. Founded in 2015 by the dedicated journalist Dil Bar Irshad, VoM News — short for Voice of Masses — continues to grow with a mission to amplify real stories with credibility, inclusivity, and heart.
The Rise of a Young Visionary: Dil Bar Irshad
Behind every successful media initiative lies a passionate storyteller, and in the case of VoM News, that storyteller is Dil Bar Irshad. A self-made journalist from the remote area of Marmat, Doda, Dil Bar began his media journey not with a press card, but with a deep desire to represent the unheard voices of his region.
From covering local sports events to reporting on social and environmental issues, he steadily expanded his reach. Through sheer persistence and love for journalism, he went on to earn degrees in both science and mass communication, and even received digital journalism training from Reuters. His dedication earned him numerous recognitions, including the Mother Teresa Indian Excellency Award and the Nelson Mandela International Excellence Award (2025).
Today, Dil Bar is not only the Editor-in-Chief of VoM News but also contributes as an international correspondent with agencies like BNN and TrimFeed — proving that journalistic excellence can rise from even the most remote parts of the country.
What Makes VoM News Stand Out?
VoM News isn’t just another digital outlet. It’s a community-centric platform that offers comprehensive and multilingual news coverage. From regional stories in Doda to national headlines and global trends, the portal ensures readers stay informed and engaged.
Through consistent reporting, VoM News has cemented its place as a reliable source of information in Jammu and Kashmir. The platform operates with a small but driven team, including correspondents, anchors, social media managers, and grievance handlers who work tirelessly to keep the news flowing.
Its recent move to include Urdu content has been especially impactful, resonating deeply with the culturally diverse population of Chenab Valley. This reflects VoM’s commitment to accessibility and inclusivity — making sure language is never a barrier to information.
Trust, Accountability & Accessibility
Credibility remains a core pillar of VoM News. With its Grievance Redressal Cell, the portal promotes transparency and welcomes reader feedback, editorial contributions, and public opinion pieces.
VoM’s multi-platform digital presence also helps it stay accessible. Whether it’s Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, or its clean and user-friendly official website, users can engage with content however and whenever they prefer.
For aspiring writers or readers who want to contribute, VoM News also welcomes articles and editorials, subject to plagiarism checks and content standards — making it a dynamic space for informed public dialogue.
The VoM News Impact: Journalism Rooted in Purpose
What sets VoM News apart is its grounding in purpose. While many outlets chase sensationalism, VoM remains focused on giving voice to real people and real stories — especially from underrepresented communities.
It covers a wide spectrum of topics, including local governance, social justice, education, development, and environmental issues — all through a lens that prioritizes community welfare and factual reporting.
As noted by Forbes, trust is the new currency in digital journalism. Platforms like VoM News succeed not just by reporting news but by building relationships with their readers. With every story told and every issue raised, VoM deepens that bond of trust.
Final Thoughts: Why VoM News Is More Than Just a News Portal
VoM News is more than a digital media platform — it’s a movement for representation, integrity, and regional empowerment. Rooted in the valleys of Jammu & Kashmir and reaching out to a global audience, it represents a rare blend of local insight and journalistic professionalism.
As the world grows noisier and trust in media wavers, platforms like VoM News remind us of journalism’s real power — to inform, inspire, and unite.
Stay connected. Stay informed. Trust VoM News.
