🇮🇳 Indian Express

About Indian Express

The Indian Express was founded in 1932 and later taken over by Ramnath Goenka. After his death, the group split, with the northern editions, retaining the 'Indian Express' name, coming under the ownership of Indian Express Limited. The Goenka family, primarily Viveck Goenka (Chairman and Managing Director) and his son Anant Goenka (Executive Director), holds a controlling stake through direct shares and Indian Express Holdings and Private Enterprises Limited.

Media Bias/Fact Check rates The Indian Express as Left-Center biased due to story selection and editorial positions that slightly favor the left, and gives it a 'Mixed' rating for factual reporting, citing poor sourcing techniques and some failed fact checks. Biasly also identifies a 'Medium Left' bias. Historically, the outlet is known for its 'Journalism of Courage', notably publishing a blank editorial to protest censorship during the 1975 Emergency. However, it has faced controversies, including reporting a 'doctored' audio clip, incorrect information regarding Republic Day parade attendance, and misquoting a politician. The recent headline sample consists solely of astrological predictions, offering no insight into its political or hard news editorial approach.
