Maharashtra | June 2025 — What began in 2017 as a modest weekly print newspaper has now emerged as one of Maharashtra’s most trusted and influential digital news platforms. Metro City Samachar, through its commitment to fact-based and unbiased reporting, has become a trailblazer in people-centric journalism.
Turning Crisis into Opportunity: The Digital Leap
After three consecutive years of weekly print publication, Metro City Samachar faced an unprecedented challenge during the COVID-19 lockdown. Like many small and mid-sized media organizations, the publication experienced severe financial stress, forcing it to halt its print operations temporarily.
However, Editor-in-Chief Sanjay Mishra saw this crisis as a turning point. Embracing the digital wave, the platform swiftly transitioned to publishing on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Dailyhunt, and its own website—marking a strategic shift that would redefine its future.
Within months, Metro City Samachar began gaining significant traction for its honest and community-driven coverage. Audiences resonated with the platform’s authentic voice, helping it grow rapidly in the digital landscape.
A Trusted Name in Maharashtra’s Digital News Ecosystem
By January 2025, Metro City Samachar achieved a major milestone—surpassing 1 million subscribers on YouTube. This remarkable achievement represents far more than a number; it is a reflection of the public’s trust and appreciation for consistent, responsible journalism.
Today, with a massive and growing viewer base across platforms, Metro City Samachar ranks among Maharashtra’s leading digital news channels, becoming a household name for millions.
Recognition from Public Representatives
This achievement has not gone unnoticed by the region’s political leaders. The MLA of Vasai formally acknowledged Sanjay Mishra with a certificate of appreciation, lauding his dedication to ethical journalism. Similarly, Rajan Naik, MLA from Nalasopara constituency, issued an official letter commending the platform’s contribution to society and the media landscape.
The Road Ahead: Technology, Ground Reporting, and Responsible Journalism
Looking forward, Metro City Samachar is set to invest further in emerging technologies, mobile journalism, and ground-level reporting. The vision is clear: to not only deliver news but to uphold the highest standards of responsible and accountable journalism.
With unwavering dedication to public interest and a forward-thinking approach, Metro City Samachar is not just telling stories—it’s shaping the future of journalism in India.
