Introducing NDTV Micro. Micro-dramas have shown how much story can be packed into a few minutes. We’re bringing that storytelling grammar to news. Not TV stories shortened for your phone. Stories conceived for the format — immersive, visual, tightly told and complete. We begin with an extraordinary story from... show more

Is it too difficult for you to write without using AI? At least get rid of the em dashes.

@VishnuNDTV It’s a bit too micro! 😕 Can’t it be at least few mins more?? Visual vividness is always appreciated! Tried on both, looking far better on iPad than phone.

Look around, look at Indian Express. Look at Ritika Chopra, look at journalism. Look at yourself and your organization.

A moment from Apple Park. At Apple’s global launch event, NDTV was the only Indian app showcased. Our ambition is to build a news product for an AI-first world — more intelligent, more personalised and more intuitive, changing not just how news is delivered, but how people discover, understand and engage with it.

New details have emerged from statements made by flydubai co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami during his interrogation about what investigators believe was planned aboard Flight FZ1073. We’ve updated our NDTV Micro to reflect these revelations. The response to our Micros so far reinforces our belief that there’s an appetite for a new grammar of news storytelling — combining generative AI, cinematic reconstruction and AI-assisted visualisation to recreate events cameras could never capture, while remaining anchored to the facts. We’re just getting started. #NDTVMicro #WhenItReallyMatters

The Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2026 places NDTV as India’s leading news brand in weekly reach for the sixth consecutive year. What makes this especially meaningful is that NDTV tops both categories measured in India — TV/Radio/Print and Online News. In a world where audiences move seamlessly across platforms, trust and relevance can no longer be built in just one place. This recognition belongs to the entire NDTV team. The platforms may change, but our commitment remains the same: stay with the facts, ask the right questions, and tell stories that matter. NDTV NDTVindia NDTVProfitIndia

NDTV 24x7 is now NDTV. When NDTV 24x7 was born, round-the-clock television news was itself a revolution. Today, news is everywhere. On television. On your phone. On an app. On YouTube. On social media. On Connected TV. And increasingly, on platforms that are still taking shape. So 24x7 no longer defines who we are. NDTV does. One name. One identity. Across screens, platforms and formats. And with it, a sharper articulation of what we want our journalism to stand for: WHEN IT REALLY MATTERS. Because in a world overflowing with information, the challenge is no longer simply knowing what happened. It is knowing what matters. What does this change? Whose lives will it affect? Why does it matter? We build from more than three decades of trust and journalistic legacy — but with our eyes firmly on the future. A new look. A renewed NDTV. And a promise to bring clarity, context and perspective when it really matters. NDTV.

Some stories cannot be told from a studio. Over the past few years, NDTV reporters have travelled into districts and communities across India to understand why child marriage persists — and to meet those fighting to end it. We met girls who refused to be married. Children who found the courage to speak up. Families and communities beginning to question practices that had gone unchallenged for generations. And activists working quietly on the ground, often intervening before another childhood was lost. These were not always easy stories to find or tell. Child marriage often survives away from public view — behind closed doors, within communities and sometimes under the cover of custom. Our partnership with Bhuwan Ribhu and @JustRightsForChildren helped bring many of these stories into the national conversation. And now, something remarkable has happened. November 27 — the date on which India launched the Bal Vivah Mukt Bharat campaign — will be observed by the United Nations as the International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage. (NDTV) A journey that we witnessed in villages, towns and neighbourhoods across India has reached the global stage. There is still a long way to go. But this is a milestone worth marking — for Bhuwan Ribhu, the JRC network and partners, and above all for every child who found the courage to say no. Proud that NDTV could help tell their stories. #ChildMarriageFreeIndia #JustRightsForChildren #NDTV #NDTVCoLab

This isn't just an NDTV problem. It's true of almost every Indian news channel and even news agencies like ANI, IANS and PTI. One of the basic principles of journalism is to first hear the victim, then independent experts, and only then the government's version. But in the "Acche Din" era, most stories begin and end with the govt's narrative, while every other voice are ignored. At Alt News, we've been documenting and calling out this shift in News Channels since we started Alt News in 2017. More than half of my personal tweets over the years are about highlighting the selective reporting by mainstream media and its Starbhakt News Anchors. Listen to the video by the Former NDTV employee and then read the article we recently wrote on Pro-BJP Propaganda News Agency.

Belonging by Mrs Sonia Gandhi promises to be a great read, her much awaited autobiography. Maligned by many Indian politicians, one of them even called her a New Jersey cow, she endured overwhelming personal tragedies with remarkable dignity and fortitude. She would lead Congress to an unexpected comeback in 2004. Critics will evaluate Mrs Gandhi with the cold lens of realpolitik in our murky cesspool of Indian politics, but I believe she is an extraordinary person, and first and foremost always, an indulgent mother. My thoughts to Padmaja Joshi on NDTV.

WOAH 🚨 Former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran says the mainstream media is censoring news stories and that they WORK WITH THE GOVERNMENT on what stories are allowed to air “A news organization is running things by the government for approval?” “Yeah.” Terry Moran was about to run a story about the origins of Covid being from a lab during the beginning of the pandemic He says the government works with ABC News to censor stories and that Anthony Fauci could block mainstream media stories “I did feel the heavy hand of censorship at, in my work at ABC News.” His story on Covid organs was sent in for review, it was changed and censored. He was told by who, “I was told, "Fauci”’ “A news organization is running things by the government for approval?” “Yeah.” If the mainstream media is working with the government on what stories are allowed to be aired then that means we do not have a free press Another conspiracy theory proven true

PRESIDENT TRUMP: "I think my Cabinet is fantastic. I read the same stories that I'm unhappy with this one or that one and I'm not." "I read a story that I was unhappy with Pete because he was attacking drug dealers...I would say very much the opposite." "I read a story recently I'm unhappy with Kristi. I'm so happy with her...We have a border that's the best border in the history of our country."

Honoured to receive the Media Person of the Year award from the International Advertising Association. My thanks to IAA-India and its esteemed jury for this recognition. A little over a year into my journey at NDTV, whatever progress we’ve made belongs to the extraordinary team that works relentlessly every day—and to four magical letters that carry three decades of audience trust and legacy: NDTV. As AI increasingly becomes the gateway to information, the brands that endure won’t be the ones an algorithm happened to lead you to. They’ll be the ones people choose to come back to, again and again, because of the relationship they’ve built with the brand behind the content. For journalism, that relationship has never mattered more. Our job is not to tell people what to think. It is to help them think more deeply. To explore the shades of grey, ask difficult questions and give audiences the information they need to make up their own minds. #IAA #Journalism #AI #Trust #NDTV

The MiG-21: An Era That Defined Indian Military Aviation Few aircraft have left a mark on the Indian Air Force quite like the MiG-21. From its induction in 1963 to its final retirement in 2025, the MiG-21 served India for over six decades. It witnessed wars, transformed generations of fighter pilots, and became an integral part of India’s air power story. The documentary is more than a story about an aircraft. It is about the pilots who flew it, the engineers and ground crews who kept it flying, and an era of Indian aviation that will never be repeated.

Some stories make headlines. Others are never given the chance to be told. At DD London, we believe every conversation begins with listening. In one city, people from different homelands, different histories, and different lived experiences come together, not to speak over one another, but to understand one another. This is a platform for voices that deserve to be heard, stories that deserve their time, and conversations that go beyond the headlines. DD London. Every Voice. Every Story. One Conversation at a Time. Muzzammil Ayyub Thakur

As we prepare for Mother’s Day, I thought of a letter I received with a book, Catalogue Baby, that many people can relate to. Stories like this are why we are making one round of IVF free. We’re making sure people on the path to parenthood have fewer barriers and more support.

In 4 minutes, Kurt Vonnegut explained stories better than anyone I’ve ever heard. “The shape of the curve is what matters. Not their origins.” He plots stories on 2 axes: X: Time Y: Good fortune / ill fortune He goes on to say, “Somebody gets into trouble, then gets out of it again. People love that story. They never get tired of it.” Point 1: Stories have defined patterns. In Joseph Campbell’s Hero of a Thousand Faces, he makes the case for the Hero’s Journey. Since then, it’s become the most famous storytelling structure in the world. Vonnegut argued stories could be divided into 8 shapes. Each story, he said, fit one of the 8. Point 2: Vonnegut says, “Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them — so the reader may see what they're made of.” To see who your characters really are, you have to make them suffer. Only then does your audience have someone worth cheering for. Point 3: End on a high note. Vonnegut says, “It’s not accidental that the line ends up higher than where it began. This is encouraging to readers.” The way a story makes people feel when they finish is how they remember it. It’s called recency bias. Lift people up and they will love you. *** “There are people. There are stories. The people think they shape the stories, but the reverse is often closer to the truth.” I wrote this with Robbie Crabtree. Follow him for lessons on storytelling + fundraising. And I talk about creative storytelling. Follow Nathan Baugh for more like that.

I have met with a lot of successful Nigerians making the most of their opportunities abroad. Japa has many good stories, do not let any tales of doom abroad fool you. Whilst some hate to hear or read about it, I have also met more than a few Nigerians who found more success because they returned to Nigeria or indeed moved to Nigeria for the first time. Japa stories are a dime and a dozen, the Japada stories deserve to be told too. This is why I am looking forward to Omowunmi Onalaja and her guests, some of whom you may already know, who are doing extraordinary work here in Nigeria. If for nothing, they can inspire those who need that little push to make the move of a return to Nigeria, after finding out Japa may not be for them.

I am so excited to announce that my new YouTube channel is out now. The goal with this channel is to amplify underreported stories and shed light on dark stories that we need to be aware of.

This project has been a long time coming and it is an honor to finally to get share it with the world. First full episode dropping this Saturday!
