About Hindustan Times
Hindustan Times is the flagship publication of HT Media Limited, an Indian media company founded in 1924. It is controlled by the prominent Birla family and currently owned by Shobhana Bhartia, daughter of K. K. Birla. The K.K. Birla Group holds a significant stake in HT Media Limited.
Media Bias/Fact Check rates Hindustan Times as Left-Center Biased and questionable, citing poor sourcing, numerous failed fact checks, and the promotion of propaganda. They note a general alignment with the Congress Party, the liberal opposition in India, and instances of pro-Russian propaganda. Other sources like AllSides and Ad Fontes Media, however, rate it as Center. The outlet has faced allegations of editorial collusion with the government and controversies surrounding editor departures. India's press freedom environment is considered 'partly-free,' with Reporters Without Borders ranking India 157th out of 180 countries in 2026, highlighting concerns about violence against journalists, concentrated media ownership, and increasing political alignment.
