History

Launch

Mint began in collaboration with The Wall Street Journal on 1 February 2007, with the Journal's former deputy managing editor, Raju Narisetti as its founding editor.[8]

Relaunch

Mint changed from the Berliner format it popularized in India and became a broadsheet in 2016. According to a press release, Mint and Mint's digital platform Livemint.com would complement each other.[9][10]

Editorial stance

Mint's editorial or "Views" page emphasizes free people, free economies and free societies.[11] Its editorial pages broadly support economic liberalization and an unfettered economy but provide for some space for social programs that tackle especially grievous inequity.[12]

In 2008, the newspaper won two awards at the 7th Annual Asia Media Awards organised by the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers.[14]

For 2009, the newspaper won three Ranmnath Goenka awards in the fifth edition of the awards presented by the Indian Express Group.[15]
