Outlet track record
ANI / The Tribune
Indian right-center — ANI strongly pro-Indian government (BJP/Modi); The Tribune moderately independent center-right
ANI is India's dominant wire news agency, majority-owned by the founding Prakash family with a minority Reuters stake, and widely documented by press-freedom researchers as editorially aligned with the BJP-led Indian government. The Tribune is an independent, trust-owned English-language newspaper based in Chandigarh that has served northern India since 1881 with a moderate center-right voice. Both outlets cover the Trump administration primarily through the lens of U.S.-India relations — reporting trade disputes, tariff tensions, and diplomatic engagements — without a consistent pro- or anti-Trump editorial tilt.
Owned byANI (Asian News International) is majority-owned by the Prem Prakash family (approximately 74%), with Reuters holding a 26% minority stake reduced from 49% in December 2022 to comply with India's foreign-investment rules. The Tribune is owned by The Tribune Trust, a non-profit body established under the will of founder Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, currently presided over by Narinder Nath Vohra.
