Network18 makes key changes in editorial leadership
New Delhi: Network18 has made key changes in its editorial leadership, with Karthik Subbaraman being tapped as managing editor of the network’s digital news operations and Vivek Narayan stepping into Subbaraman’s shoes.
While Subbaraman has been given a new role at the network, Narayan has been appointed. The latter was last serving as the executive editor and head of output at Times Now.
Both Subbaraman and Narayan will report to Santosh Menon, the network’s chief content officer. The announcements come amid an incremental growth of the network’s audience base and market dynamics.
Narayan will oversee news channels in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. He started his career as a reporter at Network Television in Thiruvananthapuram in 1994 before moving on to stints at Asia Pacific communication and Eenadu TV in New Delhi. He then worked at the TV Today Network in Delhi and Kerala for five years, until 2005.
Subbaraman has been with the network for nearly four years as the editor overseeing three southern channels. A consummate news hound, Subbaraman has expertise across genres spanning general news, business, tech/start-ups and international relations. In his new role, he will supervise the editorial operations of all Network18’s digital properties, with the editors of News18 (English, Hindi and languages), Firstpost, Moneycontrol, cnbcv18.com and the central digital videos team reporting to him.

MUMBAI: India Today Group just turned the Ramnath Goenka Awards into its own trophy cabinet because when your reporters dig this deep, even the judges have to award a clean sweep. India Today Group journalists have secured multiple top honours at the latest edition of the prestigious Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards, reinforcing the network’s legacy as the gold standard of Indian journalism. The awards were conferred by vice president C. P. Radhakrishnan at a ceremony held on 27 March 2026.
Sreya Chatterjee won in the ‘Investigative Reporting – Broadcast’ category for her powerful India Today TV report ‘Operation Illegals: The Alarming Rise in Bangladeshi Infiltration Across India’s Fragile Eastern Frontier’. The investigation stood out for its depth, on-ground rigour and national relevance.
In the ‘Civic Journalism – Print/Digital’ category, Sreya Chatterjee along with Arvind Ojha were honoured for their indiatoday.in report on unregulated water extraction and the ‘Tanker Mafia’ in Delhi’s Bawana Industrial Area. The story exposed critical systemic gaps and environmental challenges affecting daily life.
Additionally, aajtak.in was recognised in the ‘Investigative Reporting – Print/Digital’ category for its hard-hitting exposé ‘The Surrogate Mother Market’, which highlighted the human, legal and ethical dimensions of the surrogacy ecosystem.
India Today Group emerged as the only network honoured in Investigative Journalism across both Print/Digital and Broadcast categories. The wins reflect the strength of its multi-platform newsroom and its unwavering commitment to credible, high-impact reporting that informs public discourse and drives accountability.
