Shreeya won the 2010 Foreign Press Association Award for her dedication to international journalism.


In addition to Sinha's work, she has helped produce several shows at CNNi in New York, CNN-IBN and CNBC-TV18 in India. At The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, she helped develop social media outreach to conflict zones.
