About Hindustan Times
Hindustan Times is the flagship publication of HT Media Limited, which is controlled by the Birla family. Shobhana Bhartia, daughter of K. K. Birla, manages the outlet and holds a significant stake through various holding companies. She has also been nominated as a Rajya Sabha MP from the Congress Party.
Media Bias/Fact Check rates Hindustan Times as 'Left-Center Biased' and a 'questionable source' due to poor sourcing, numerous failed fact checks, and the promotion of propaganda, noting its general alignment with the Congress Party. Biasly assesses its bias as 'Somewhat Left' with 'Average' reliability, while AllSides and Ground News assign a 'Center' bias but with low confidence or mixed factuality. The outlet has faced controversies, including a journalist stepping down in 2018 following #MeToo accusations. The recent headline sample covers a range of national news, including political developments and social issues.
