Priya Singh

Priya Singh has covered Asia's dynamic shifts for fifteen years, from Beijing's tech boom to South Asia's political upheavals. She reported for Reuters in China, then spent eight years as South Asia correspondent for The New York Times, earning Pulitzer finalist recognition for her in-depth election coverage. Her bestselling book on digital democracy in India is widely taught across the region. Priya joined GroundTruthCentral to tackle the basic curiosities that get buried under sensational headlines — "Why do these neighboring countries have such tense relations?" or "How is technology changing daily life here?" She wants to restore the wonder of asking "why" without fear of judgment. She is a member of the International Women's Media Foundation. Priya holds a master's in international relations from Columbia University and a BA from Delhi University with distinction.
