Sonali Baidya is the founder, editor-in-chief, and lead writer of USA Celebs — an independent U.S. entertainment news site she launched to cover American celebrity culture with the same rigor she expects from a serious newsroom.
Background
Sonali is an independent journalist based in New York City. Her work focuses on the intersection of celebrity, film, music, and culture in the United States — with a strong preference for verified facts over recycled rumors. She founded USA Celebs after years of reading entertainment coverage that, in her view, prioritized clicks over accuracy and respect.
