Based in Dimapur, Nagaland,[1] India, The Morung Express was conceived from the Naga people's historical realities [2] and is guided by their voices and experiences. It emerged from the well-recognized concept that the core of a free press is based on “qualitative and investigative” journalism. Ensuring this is essential for contributing to a Naga public that makes informed decisions on issues that affect all spheres of life.

The Morung Express acknowledges and respects the power of public opinion and its ability to safeguard democratic space with the potential to support vital policy formulation and decision-making processes. The idea of having a newspaper in northeast India with this focus came from its founders who ensure that it remains true to the principles of peace journalism.

Using this “new lens” The Morung Express is committed to presenting a perspective that is representative, balanced, fair and insightful. It is also founded on reporting the “truth” while providing fact-based analysis using “process-based reporting” that is “qualitative and investigative” in nature. Since all issues relating to people's existence are important, The Morung Express creates the space where varying opinions[3] are welcomed and expressed, particularly silenced voices from the margins by grounding itself in “process-based reporting.”

The Morung Express is the first newspaper in Nagaland to have an online version. The daily newspaper is targeted at the age group of 25–45 years where The Morung Express is more widely read in cities and towns such as Kohima, Dimapur and Mokokchung.
