If you watch Hindi TV, the piece "Which is the best TV news channel in Hindi?" helps you decide based on coverage style, depth and regional focus.
Tracking politics? Start with "Narendra Modi not the only PM to also serve as CM?" — it gives quick historical context and names other leaders who moved from state to national office. Use these short histories when you hear claims in debates or social posts; they make it easier to spot exaggeration.
How to read and verify fast
When a story breaks, check two things first: who reported it and whether independent outlets confirm it. Look for dates, quotes, and official records. If a claim comes only from a single channel or a social post, hold off sharing. For politics and sports, watch for follow-up reporting — facts often change in the first 24 hours.
Use multiple source types. Combine a national paper, a regional outlet and a public broadcaster to get a fuller picture. If the story involves numbers — budgets, polls, scores — cross-check the figures in the article with the official release or the event organizer.
