Background

The American Bazaar was founded in 2012 by Sujeet Rajan, a journalist who serves as editor-in-chief, as a platform covering news for the Indian American and South Asian American community. It covers Indian American business, technology, politics, immigration, entertainment and fashion. It publishes on a daily basis from Germantown, Maryland, and its early coverage included live-blogging Narendra Modi's 2014 Madison Square Garden event and commentary on the 2013 Devyani Khobragade diplomatic dispute. The company is described as being under American Bazaar, Inc. or Global Media Holding, Inc., depending on the source, and it is part of a small group of diaspora media outfits. In Trump's second term it has run many stories on the $100,000 H-1B fee, the 50 percent tariffs on Indian goods, a Labor Department ad that singled out India over visa abuse, and online hate directed at Indian Americans. It quotes Democratic Indian American lawmakers such as Pramila Jayapal and Ami Bera, and also reports administration statements and market news, including Trump's remarks that the U.S. needs foreign talent. It also runs a satirical column, 'Trumpiana,' that mocks the president's plans. Overall it is a community-focused outlet with a modest staff. Its perspective is shaped more by diaspora interests than by party loyalty, and its administration coverage is stronger on policy impact than on partisan advocacy. This profile relies on search summaries and could not directly review the site's ownership page, so details of ownership are less certain.
