DELHI PRESS
How Delhi Press Works
Delhi Press covers India news only, and it covers it one way: every story, three angles. For each story we publish, we read how the left, the center and the right reported it, print the facts all three agree on, and show you — in our own words, with their headlines quoted and linked — how each side framed it. This page is the whole method, in the open. If we ever change it, we will change it here first.
We sort the outlets we monitor into three buckets by their editorial orientation. The sorting is ours, it is published here so you can argue with it, and a story’s angles are always drawn from these lists — one source minimum from each bucket, every time.
- The Wire
- Scroll
- The Hindu
Outlets whose coverage typically leads with civil liberties, institutional accountability and the view from outside government.
- PTI
- ANI
- Indian Express
- Hindustan Times
- The Print
The wire services and centrist papers of record. Their copy is the backbone of our facts strip — sequence first, characterisation last.
- OpIndia
- Swarajya
- Times Now
- Republic
Outlets whose coverage typically leads with the government’s case, questions of order and process, and scrutiny of the opposition.
The facts strip at the top of every story — The Story — contains only what the coverage agrees on, cross-checked against wire copy from PTI and ANI and, wherever one exists, the primary source: a PIB release, a court order, an official statement, a transcript. If the buckets disagree about a basic fact, the fact doesn’t go in the strip; the disagreement itself is noted in the angles, attributed to whoever is claiming what.
We gather coverage twice a day — a morning and an evening run — from outlet feeds and news aggregators, and each story page carries a “coverage checked” time so you know how fresh the reading is.
Everything in the angle boxes is a summary written by this desk, in our own words: what each side leads with, what it emphasises, what it leaves out. We do not lift paragraphs from other people’s reporting. The one exception is headlines: each angle quotes the outlet’s own headline, in quotation marks, with the outlet named and a link to their version, because the headline is the framing — and it belongs to its publisher. Nothing paywalled is reproduced; we summarise and link, the same as any reader could.
If we get a fact wrong, we fix it in place and say so at the foot of the story, with the time of the correction. If we mischaracterise an outlet’s framing — the summary, not the quote — tell us, with a link to their piece, and we will re-read it and correct the box if we were unfair. Write to us via the contact link below; corrections are reviewed by the desk, not by whoever wrote the box.
Delhi Press is an analysis desk, not a newsroom. We do not do original reporting: no reporters on the ground, no interviews, no exclusives. Everything on this site is built from published coverage and public documents, and the sources list on every story page shows exactly what a given page is built from. We read everyone, so you don’t have to — but when a story matters to you, the links are right there. Read their version too.
