Who is Atul Singh?

Atul Singh is an Indian-born former lawyer, current affairs lecturer, and the founder and editor-in-chief of Fair Observer, a global media platform that focuses on analysis and a "plurality of perspectives" from around the world.

Before launching Fair Observer, Singh worked in finance and law, notably as a corporate lawyer in London for Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, advising Goldman Sachs. The idea of creating a global news analysis site solidified while attending the New York Global Media Summit in 2010, and Singh enlisted partners Fabian Neuen, an INSEAD MBA, formerly one of Siemens’ youngest managers in history, and Christian Becker, an MD/PhD from Heidelberg and Baltimore, former physician, researcher and management consultant. Fair Observer's managing editor is Abul-Hasanat Siddique, co-author of The Arab Uprisings: An Introduction. The deputy managing editor and culture editor is Anna Pivovarchuk. Both are based in London while Singh is based in the U.S.

On September 10, 2012, Singh spoke as a panelist at the United Nations' "Future of Newspapers" debate, also featuring the Romanian Ambassador to the UN Simona-Mirela Miculescu and Rutgers Professor Dr. Regina Marchi.
