Unbiased Indian Political News — May 2023 Archive
This archive collects what we published in May 2023: a practical guide to finding unbiased Indian political news. The piece focuses on real sources you can trust, and shows simple steps to check facts yourself. If you want straight answers instead of noise, start here.
Top sources to follow
The article highlights a handful of outlets that aim for careful reporting: The Wire, Scroll.in and The Hindu. They publish in-depth reports, often link to original documents, and correct mistakes when they happen. For government perspective and live coverage, public broadcasters like All India Radio and DD News are useful—just remember they are state-run and sometimes frame stories differently.
For quick myth-busting, the archive points to independent fact-checkers such as Alt News and BOOM Live. These groups track viral claims and provide sources and context so you can see how a claim holds up. Use them when something feels off on social media.
How to read political news critically
Don’t trust a single headline. Read beyond the headline and check the byline and date. Good reporters link to original documents or court orders; if you don’t see links, be cautious. Want an example? Compare a mainstream report and a local outlet’s piece on the same issue—differences in quotes and sourcing will show you where to dig deeper.
Cross-check facts across at least two reputable sources. If a story cites an official statement, find that statement yourself. If you see a dramatic image, reverse-search it to confirm where and when it was first used. Short social posts often skip context; longer articles usually add it.
Pay attention to ownership and funding. Most outlets list their editors and funders somewhere; that can explain editorial slants. Also follow individual journalists you trust—good reporters often publish reliable, repeatable coverage across outlets.
Use simple tools: set Google News alerts for topics you care about, subscribe to RSS feeds of the outlets above, and follow fact-check sections. When a claim matters to you, wait a bit—initial reports sometimes change as facts come in.
May 2023 on India Daily News 24/7 gave readers a short, useful checklist: follow a mix of independent outlets, use public broadcasters for official updates, and verify with fact-checkers. Keep these habits and you’ll spot slant faster and stay better informed without wasting time.
