We are living in a world where sensationalism has become the new favourable content that attracts attention, manipulates beliefs, and drives people to act. A convincing fake can be naturally viral, making sensationalism and forgery more than reality.

As per a survey by Microsoft’s Third Digital Civility Index, Indians were most likely to encounter fake news and internet hoaxes, with social media and messaging platforms becoming a vehicle for misinformation and propaganda during the pandemic.
Besides weeding through stories to get the truth, the population would also have to consider if the news they are reading everyday is in fact accurate.
Hnews: A key player in the segment

Hnews: Bringing untold stories into the limelight
While democratic activities and functioning are rebuts in all sections of Indian society and more so in rural India, the news organisations which are supposed to provide essential inputs and links to healthy democratic functioning, are largely confined to the elite in urban areas. Thus, Hnews works as a mirror for rural people by addressing worries, anxieties, troubles and tribulations and presenting them in front of the government in a sustained manner.
